That's... Normal. Technology has always been moving towards higher-level abstractions. In terms of software, many engineers nowadays know how to code in high-level languages like JS or Java, while maybe 30-40 years ago many folks probably knew C, assembly, and all the low-level stuff like e.g. explicit memory management that most modern devs never deal with.

How abstract before it becomes a problem? these days they want to outsource thinking itself to technology. At that pare, are we failing DeCarte's "I think, therefore I am".
