I have worked in many systems where using a debugger to debug the system is impossible. Not because it was hard to setup a debugger (it usually isn’t) but because the bug is in a distributed system, or a very high performance timing sensitive system, or a system where you have to run the code for hours to trigger the bug, the bug only happens on a system I don’t have access to but I can send logging to my system etc. Also, why would anybody prefer to manually do something that you can automate by programming code to detect the bugs and print() exactly the information you need to fix it? That doesn’t make sense to me. We have the technology (programming) to automate bug finding. Don’t do it manually. It doesn’t scale.
