> sweeping all of the details too deeply under the carpet
Ever worked with numpy, scipy, pandas etc. in Python? It's ALL about what you call "sweeping the details under the carpet", or what is generally called abstraction. When abstraction is well "swept under the rug", eg. "you can use it without understanding it much" it's called non-leaky abstraction, and is the best kind of abstraction.
Sure, there's languages like Go that are all about NOT sweeping things under the rug. But that's a different niche.
