Good observation. Code is also a Jenga tower of abstractions from High level language (Python) -> Low level language (Assembly) -> CPU microcode. No code is just yet another layer on top. The higher up you go, the more difficult it can be to debug issues, and the more locked in you will be in the infrastructure. I like to stay somewhere in the middle. Not too low such that I am wasting a bunch of time with implementation details, but not too high where I don't understand enough about the technology to fix issues. The industry, as an aggregate, is steadily and relentlessly moving up the abstraction tower.
