It's about the environment. Everything in NetLogo could be done in straight assembly, that doesn't mean it's accessible to a wider audience. A large chunk of the motivation for NetLogo is pedagogical: make simulations and modeling accessible to students so they can explore (dynamically, not just statically) different concepts.

Exactly... for non-developer students (social sciences), even doing a model in NetLogo is a big challenge. Still, with the right tools, they can do amazing things.
