For people who are just trying to get a sensor to work, or control some lights, most esp32 frameworks surface maximum functionality, but minimum system state and next to no detailed debugging capabilities.

Combine that with very few “knobs” to turn on the esp32 framework, a router/wifi AP that is likely hostile to its owners, and well, superstition is pretty much all that is left.

It’s a demon haunted world.

Take note, those who dream of llms operating everything include each other: “prompt engineering” is just a fancy euphemism for grimoire, and when it’s all massive, inscrutable matrices deciding everything, well, you too might just feel it’s not a bad idea to build a shrine.
