I see the results from programmers who never learned assembly.

Just like repairing and building cars from the ground up makes me a better driver. For example, the clutch in my car lasts a lot longer than it does for other drivers.

I'm sure batteries and electric motors have their own quirks. For example, battery performance is dependent on temperature.

You are arguing against your point. Everything has its own quirks and no one has it easy or tough.

It doesn’t have it because it doesn’t need it, not because it somehow built abstraction around it. That’s not the case with modern computers, anything is built on top of everything.
