"If you're doing simple stuff with <insert high level tooling here>, no problem, but as soon as you need to go deeper, good luck." This is how technology works

"If you're doing simple stuff with <insert high level tooling here>, no problem, but as soon as you need to go deeper, good luck."
This is how technology works in general. The deeper you go, the more abstractions you remove, the more difficult the job becomes.

The art of building a good product is finding the right level of abstraction for your audience, and I don't think 3rd party developers are well served here, although internal Windows performance engineers might be.
