This would be just the modern version of "Computer class" back in the day when we learned to use word, excel, etc. Just another tool among others that is helpful to learn but should be limited to that specific class.

Though actual sad thing learning from friends with kids is that the modern "computer class" does not actually teach kids to use computers much these days.

Yeah I'd be happier if they learned how an Apollo computer worked (even though it has virtually no relevance) than how to use Excel.

This reminds me of Harvey Cragon's intro to computer architecture textbook...

When it introduces Harvard vs. Von Neumann architectures, it doesn't invent some dumb RISC computer to illustrate the difference... No... it makes you learn the actual von Neumann machine! Also Conrad Zuse Z machine.

Cragon's argument is that students will not learn the concept of engineering trade-offs, if presented with a clean "textbook" architecture.

I hated MIX for various reasons, it's sort of in-between simple and kludgy.
