I disagree with all 4 of your assumptions.

Usually you're working on different types of problems. The technical dangers are different, the type of business logic you're implementing is different, and the types of new things you'd create are different. There's also a huge ecosystem of tools and techniques that you probably haven't even heard about.

If you're just going to make a CRUD app in C or something, odds are you're going to experience the drawbacks you mentioned without much extra benefit. But if you work on actual low-level problems, it can be a completely different world where programming isn't even half the story.

I do aknowledge that everything will be different )

(There was no attempt to compare different languages or their "abstractness" levels and to apply them to the same class of problems. Of course, that almost never the dilemma people are facing.)
