This is like saying that Apache is a bad web server because IT people complain to the System Architects over how hard it is to harden it for PKI and use in Top Secret Environments. Odds are the IT monkey doesn't know what he is talking about anymore than the lathe monkey. Both have a false sense of expertise because they see their field as "equal".
are we talking about integrated circuit chips? Because everyone in the EE/SOC world mocks the VLSI monkeys. Its a $120/hour CAD jockey job. It's an entirely different skillset and mindset to adapt an ISA to hardware than is to make sure there's no overlap.
