I guess the sentiment is more like "Don't make students start programming in IDEs first" I get it. It shields them from understanding what's happening underneath. But not everybody is interested or needs to know all the things happening underneath, and its okay. If they're going to learn the whole stack, they will.

Even for someone who is interested in knowing what happens underneath. To succeed at actions, it important not to expand the scope of what you're trying to do too broadly.
