This actually makes sense. When the low level stuff is at a terrible level they made Octane to make that better. Once that was fixed, optimizing for it is counter-productive.

This has a big resemblance IMO to most formal study methods including University and natural languages. Once you know the basics you can optimize for learning or for grades, depending on your goals. They are correlated (but not strongly correlated), but the time investment is not negligible so you'll have to choose either of them.
