Yes that is my contention.

This Simpson's clip summarizes it in a more poetic style

I've seen a common problem for auto-didacts is that, since the advanced and modern concepts outnumber the fundamentals, they often find themselves learning advanced concepts before the basics.

This is especially common in programming with stackoverflow or AIs where the devs look for the quickest and easiest to use solution, pushing the code and complexity beneath the rug under the dependency layer, so that their implementing code looks nice and clean.

It's hard to figure out as a begginer that the simplest and most basic solution are 10 lines of POSIX function calls, instead of three lines of "import solution" "setup solution" "use solution".
