> quick answer rather than understanding things beyond their current issue

Well yeah, what's wrong with that. Eg I work in construction I build concrete. I don't know about the various strengths and mixes of concrete. I just know my little field. Me trying to get the perfect concrete mix or designing the rebar would be bad because I don't understand engineering.

It's neither efficient nor productive for everyone to be an expert on every aspect of the tech they are using.

If I have a problem with one tiny aspect of a computer program I shouldn't have to gain an understanding of the underlying framework. I just need the specific task to solve my particular problem.

I want to use flutter to build an app not to understand the details of how these iOS and Android platforms and underlying tech work.
