The cell organelles are a bit smaller than microelectronics that we can make with photolithography, aren't they? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)#10_nanometres https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)#1... Even though that chart lists semiconductor process nodes as down in the single-digit nanometers, the articles about the semiconductor fabrication say that these are marketing terms and don't refer to the size of actual features produced by the fabrication process, which are apparently an order of magnitude larger or so. So you could say cells are still doing some incredibly small-scale (yet voluminous) manufacturing, in a wet environment, such that we couldn't directly manufacture devices like that even if we understood all the details of how they work!
