Having been in the industry for what feels like a long time, I definitely struggle with that. Having a deep understanding of systems was useful and valuable back in the day. It still can be useful today, but an awful lot of software gets made through relatively unsophisticated people gluing together a bunch of stuff they don't understand very well.
I suspect a much greater proportion of cyclists really understands their bikes than car drivers understands their cars. Which would be problematic if those people were, say, race car drivers. But that's not the case.
