Unless you’re analyzing what microcode is doing with it, assembly is just hiding how things really work, too. Good engineers use early 1990s computers so that they can fully understand what’s going on, and never have to trust anyone else to correctly do anything.
Lots of truth to this, lots of great eastern block engineers came from working with super janky computers that demanded high levels of mastery from their users.
If by “real engineers” you mean the posers who do not work directly with the underlying analog waveforms that approximate digital logic, then I suppose you have a point.

Real engineers run all their code on CPUs they designed in verilog/VHDL.

Real engineers use binary.
