Well that's exactly the thing. They haven't. We're talking about a group of people here who live inside scientific papers and jupyter notebooks. They're able to make machines literally think, but you'd be pushing them out of their comfort zone if you stuck them in front of something like Emacs with C. Some people like GG, Jeff Dean, etc. are strong in both skill sets, but they're outliers.
