They don't, but I have respect and sympathy for developers who prefer to dig deeper with learning their tools, and how that might make them tend to prefer stacks with fewer layers sometimes. I think it's a valid concern, especially for hobbyist and experimental/autodidactic use cases. In a corporate environment or within a team, people typically specialize and defer to each other in various areas, so maybe it matters less there.
