I would argue that we have people who already are software engineers. People who know the machine their code is running on very well, and use this knowledge to fully optimize for that specific machine (embedded, console development). They take what they are given, and engineer a solution that fits that piece of hardware as well as possible. No bullshit FactoryManagerFactory.
