You should understand that you are the exception and not the norm. Tools like Scratch don't make sense for you and your experience, AND you aren't the intended audience. Tools like Scratch aren't meant to be anyone's daily driver, they're meant to give people a taste of the power of code without having to be bogged down in all of the complexity. I was fortunate enough to participate in some day camps about a decade ago designed to get girls interested in STEM. The participants were primarily Girl Scout Brownie troops (pre-K and K) and the camp consisted of 6 different modules. The camp was a half day long and the girls would complete all 6 modules, so about 30 minutes each. One of the modules was setup by a team from Georgia Tech and in it the girls were asked to create a robot to play soccer either as a goalie or a kicker using Lego WeDo sets, and then program the software to control it in Scratch. Without knowing the background of or having the time to individually coach each child, in 30 minutes two undergrads were able to teach a dozen 6-9 year old kids rudimentary robotics and software development. Each group was able to build a functional robot.
