The point of training is to create computer programs through optimization, because there are many problems (like understanding language) that we just don't know how to write programs to do.

It's not that we don't know how to set the weights - neural networks are only designed with weights because it makes them easy to optimize.

There is no reason to use them if you plan to write your own code for them. You won't be able to do anything that you couldn't do in a normal programming language, because what makes NNs special is the training process.
