> Some people stopped worrying about not understanding compilers.

But no, it's not some people, it's not most people, it's 99%+ of all developers that stopped worrying about compilers. There will always be a use case for it, but when we're talking about < 1% of all developers we're really spending time talking about a niche.

There will always be niches in any industry, but we shouldn't design our industry/profession about niche cases.
