Maybe the counterpoint should be that gluing things together should produce better optimised products. You could probably even charge for tools like that. Why should the programmer have to know the best data structures and algorithms if the computer can do it for them? We don't hand-optimise assembly any more either, except in very narrow cases.

It can, if those doing the gluing have the requisite knowledge.
