That's beside the point. The point is that coding is not the only way to verification, especially at the architectural level.
> I really don't understand why people want software to be different.
It seems to be you who wants to be different. Making prototypes is expensive and time-consuming, so engineers try to look ahead to anticipate problems. Prototyping in software is cheaper, but not so cheap (especially at the architectural level) that thinking ahead isn't beneficial.
