From a more low-level programming perspective as inspired by C code and kin, the use of directly shared resources makes more sense, and can be argued to have performance benefits.

In the programming world, "high-level" doesn't mean "more complex." High-level programming languages are ones that are more similar to the English language, while low-level languages are closer to ...

This is a specialized program that transforms "source" code written in a programming language into a low-level language, like assembly or the binary "machine code" that the CPU can directly process.

Over time, engineers developed ways to abstract away low-level programming operations with a more friendly interface. That's where programming languages come in.
