Because you gotta work with other people's code at some point or another. And much of it is unreliable, buggy and/or badly documented.

I hate guessing parameters for a API call, i hate debugging the garbage that my coworker installed from Github, i hate learning into some software and having it obsoleted within two years and i hate fixing the CI/deployments.

I love writing bare-metal code for the 8086 or AVR, because these platforms and their peripheral chips are well documented. I love platforms with formal standards and good documentation like C or shell script. But this isn't always useful these days.
