I was once curious about this sort of thing. I hate that I didn't know how a computer worked from the ground up, it made them feel like magic when I knew they were just clever machines. I wasn't satisfied with learning about circuits so I went even lower and asked how transistors work. I spent a long time in a deep rabbit hole learning chemistry so I could understand why capacitors keep charge and etc. That's when I realise to learn every layer of a computer to a level of expert proficiency is a lifetime's work, not something you can expect one person to be able to do off the top of their head.
This is why we work together, we are not swiss army knives.
