I’m also willing to bet you live way up the stack.
Try debugging something in the embedded world, and you’ll see why a lot of bare metal programmers use printfs. Turns out timing is critical most of the time, so using a debugger hides a LOT of bugs from your eyes.
Debuggers are very useful, but so are prints, there just different tools, they have different purposes.
