Because before the computer you wrote this comment on existed, at some point in early history the original hardware hackers were figuring out how to hack mother nature and their environment to first keep themselves alive, and then to thrive enough to allow them to build up to where we are now. The evolution of technology is relevant to all of us here. It is utterly humbling and fascinating to try and imagine a time when this was bleeding edge technology that was saving lives from hunger. But some random cave person somewhere came up with this with a much smaller brain than yours. What he is doing is not entirely different from building a computer from first principles... He's just doing it for "primitive technology" and honoring the real original neck beard (literally) who was nerdy enough to come up with this concept.
