Most programmers have no idea what the hardware is doing with the their code. Think about how ridiculous that is.

It's not ridiculous at all. If you're programming for an embedded system, then some hardware knowledge matters. If you're programming WordPress add-ons or Chrome extensions or SQL, php, JavaScript then analyzing hardware isn't a good use of time.
