They didn't say "understand everything", but that's the interpretation you're replying to, and it gives me some thoughts.
Different people will be okay with different levels of understanding. You put "deep" in quotes. You should also put "heuristic" and "easier", and many more, because all of these terms are up for analysis now.
A very heuristic operation of technology is "power cycling"--"have you tried turning it off and on". Another version is "factory resetting". This is very useful, but without a slightly deeper understanding of what is does, or how computers work, it's easy to waste time doing it. Like if I get a cloudflare message saying some website is unavailable, I'm not going to log out and back in. I'm not going to turn my computer off. I'm not going to do anything. But that requires a slightly deep understanding.
I wouldn't try to argue what's easier and what's harder for people so generally. There are lots of different kinds of people. That's why both the quote and the grandparent are explaining their personal motivations and describing themselves. I mean, you kind of acknowledge this after the fact when you talk about "arbitrary lines", but it still sounds like you're dissing someone's "arbitrary" personality. I mean, yeah, even if it were arbitrary drawn at GPU---that's the sense in which we are individual people...
