I had more of that feeling. Just that I feel silly booting the whole Linux kernel on an Rpi to read a few pins and trigger a light. Totally agree that engineers should do things the easiest way, just sometimes you don't have the easy tools and you realize you've never done it the hard way.
Kinda like how I can get away with Java and Python 99% of the time but I'm glad I know systems-level C for the times you have to dive deep.
