Nobody understands computers in their entirety but someone understands each part individually. It's just division of labor in action. And it seems to work. Software hasn't really gotten any slower in the last few years, and SSDs made it fast enough again.
Software isn't piplinable because we don't write software to process data as much anymore. We write software to interact with people and the world. The pipeline model doesn't apply, we need things like the if this then that model or extension APIs.
Which, admittedly, we are not great at, if it was up to me a standardized IFTT-like interface would be a core feature on every platform and it would be easy for apps to expose blocks.
I'm pretty happy with most of the software world at the moment, even though I have issues with tech culture and some of what tech is being used for.
