I'm sure that, when those skilled engineers cringed at the next higher layer of the stack, that higher layer wasn't reliable yet, it probably had some stability issues and serious performance issues. When it was fully solid they moved on.
I have a degree in electrical engineering, though these days I work on server / infrastructure software. Yeah I have a pretty good idea how stuff works at the c/c++ level and below.
