It's not blind rage. I've used them, they're over-engineered crap, like most things Java, especially the abominations made at Apache land. You can't say Make is over-engineered; lacking, maybe, but it does what it's meant to do and not much of anything else.

Compared to what? And in what way? And then for you to manually recreate it anyway? Like when you need NodeJs, typescript, Turborepo, webpack, babel and a whole list of tools and then you still need scripts to build and deploy?
Yes Maven and Gradle has its problems, but which tool is exactly better? They all just have their pros and cons. Which tool / framework in Go allows you to update a single dependency instead of the 100 that you might need and generates OpenAPI docs for you, etc etc?

Make can be as low level or high level as one wants. One simply runs shell commands with it mostly, except for in-built functions and using other shells. This means it all depends on the tooling one wants to use for a project. If it is a C project then probably some C compiler. If it is Python then probably some venv and Python. And so on. So it is very flexible. Only doesn't have a great syntax.
