>Does it really feel that much better to be one level above others?

Yes? Because levels are finite and quantifiable.



I mean, maybe technically, but not practically. Knowing how your computer works requires knowledge of semiconductors, p- and n-type doping, quantum physics, etc.

So yes, maybe you can enumerate the levels, but at some point they become not useful to discuss. The same way that discussing NPN gates is not really useful to discussing containers and VMs.
