If the thesis is that we should understand the systems we work on, then sure, I can get behind that. At the same time, I wouldn't expect a mechanic to know how to process iron ore into an ingot.

Software engineers aren't to computers as mechanics are to cars. The closest correlate is, like, automotive engineers working at Ford or Toyota; and I would 100% expect that someone involved in the process at those companies has reasonably deep knowledge about, for example, the structural characteristics of casted metal.
