That’s because we’ve had multiple generations of programmers who don’t know what’s under the hood. It is a complete disconnect between hardware and software. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, it just is. FWIW I went to computer camp in the early 80s and the advanced assembly class was exactly what woz did: write on paper and type in hex bytes from the monitor (call -151. If you know you know … 99% of people here think a monitor is just the screen, that’s what I mean).
