If you’re a programmer, you might think that the fiddliness of programming is a special feature of programming, but really it’s that everything is fiddly, but you only notice the fiddliness when you’re new, and in programming you do new things more often.
Is that the reason?
I would guess that it has more to do with software being a stack of abstractions on top of each other, though I’m not sure one way or the other.

Could you expand on how stacks of abstractions lead to fiddliness?
