I don't think that's a valid argument. Following this reasoning, no novel way of hacking has been done for decades. It's just higher levels of abstractions. Fun

I don't think that's a valid argument. Following this reasoning, no novel way of hacking has been done for decades. It's just higher levels of abstractions. Fundamentally you are just changing transistor states. For well established attacks you always had "just hack it" tools. That doesn't work for attacks not done before though and even for old ones it seems fair to want to distinguish what kind of attack the script underneath the button performed.
