I don't want to waste time learning how to install and configure ephemeral tools that will be obsolete before I ever need to use them again.

Exactly, the whole point is it wouldn’t take 30 minutes (more like 3 hours) if the tooling didn’t change all the fucking time. And if the ecosystem wasn’t a house of cards 8 layers of json configuration tall.

Instead you’d learn it, remember it, and it would be useful next time. But it’s not.

And I don't want to use tools I don't understand at least to some degree. I always get nervous when I do something but don't know why I do that something

    Depends on what level of abstraction you're comfortable with. I have no problem driving a car I didn't build.

      I didnt build my car either. But I understand a bit of most of the main mechanics, like how the ABS works, how powered steering does, how an ICE works and so on.
