That's like arguing any profession which requires you to understand basic math shouldn't "need" (be allowed to) use a calculator, since they already understand how to do it themselves.
I don't find your arguments convincing.

Why does a toaster need a microprocessor and LCD screen? Simple: it doesn't. But many these days, even on the low end, have them.
