You seem to have a nonstandard definition of "foundation". It doesn't mean "introductory" or "beginner"; it means "what everything else is built upon".

I’m thinking of it more as foundational from the perspective of a programmer’s skill set, not the code itself.

So in that sense, your ability to debug is foundational to your ability to code anything more than the most basic programs.

Granted, they do provide both of those paths.
