I believe you got the wrong conclusion from your story. They don't need to know low-level details because you do. Must they also understand payroll, marketing, sales, and floor-mopping just to work as a php programmer?

No, because payroll, marketing, sales and floor-mopping do not help you to become a better programmer in PHP. But knowing some assembly definitely will. Especially if you go so far as to have a look at the paging mechanism and cache structure of the cpus that you are using.
