It might come to you as a shocker: businesses rarely care about the "how does it work" - illusion is all that matters for most businesses, unfortunately.
The developer is the abstraction maintaining that illusion - be it by juggling a legacy codebase or a broken implementation, or a great one.

If it does actually work, I'd hardly call that an illusion. You're right that businesses (and the end users!) are typically not interested in implementation details though.
