> deep insights about how they really work

It's not about "how they really work", but what data they operate on and what problems they can be applied to. When I first heard the term "transformer" from a friend, I didn't have any association in my mind because it's a very opaque term, but once he explained it to me as Graph Neural Networks, it very quickly clicked.
