We abstract away the concept of memory addresses and pointers in some languages. Great! Until your program segfaults and now because you don't understand how memory addresses or layout work you can't tell what part of your code is causing the problem nor why it is a problem at all. Is the problem even in your code or one of the dozen module packages you imported because you were told to(they will explain the modules in a later chapter)? Why your object instance disappears between calls in an app because you didn't access it quickly enough or the 'right' way and the GC reaped it. WTF even is a garbage collector and why do we need it(again, they will cover that in a later chapter)
Modern computers are like airplanes. Why would you make a piloting student learn on an old, purely mechanical Cessna prop plane instead of a modern Gulfstream? The Gultstream is way safer, way faster and way harder to crash after all.
