This!
With at additional level of abstraction you could say “goto jumps”, but “if and loops” gives an commonly understandable logic for everyone; deeper abstractions increase reading complexities, while higher abstraction is achieved via functions and overall architecture.
Scaling up those “if and loops” is the challenge as a team or a single, with the common goals being to keep the software under control.
