There's a subtle difference between most programming work and non-programmers (usually engineering).

A lot of programmer work is general purpose, create something new in a novel way.

A lot of non-programmer work is highly specialized, tailoring a solution for a specific use case out of existent but adapted parts.

For the latter, it can make a lot of sense to work within a mature ecosystem, where most of the components are already available, even if you sacrifice flexibility when you need to go out of bounds.

And also you adapt your workflow and designs to the tool, not vice versus.
