And displaying "Hello World" can be done trivially with a pencil and paper. That doesn't make doing so in a classical programming language devoid of value.

Sure, but there is value in a "Hello World" being focused on what is special about the hardware/language. Look at Haskell and OCaml tutorials for instance: they all explicitly say stuff like "let us start with the 'Hello World' of functional languages, namely, implementing the Fibonacci (or factorial) function recursively".
