> That's not how any of this works.

That's actually how _all_ of this works. If we required everyone to handle the complexity of everything, we wouldn't be able to make technological progress. Yes, there's the tension (there's always a tension) between having a deep understanding of an underlying technology, and therefore be able to use it better, and trying to get to a point where you can get away with not understanding. But it's undeniably considered a success story in technology if the technology gets to a point where people can use it to basically its full potential, without needing to understand it.
