If you want to be an expert in the language yes, you should be able to explain any piece of code, and how does behave at runtime or compiled to.

But most devs do not want to be experts so .. theres that.

IMO, most people likely don't want to be experts because there is a point of diminishing returns after you've acquired a certain proficiency with a language.

We should have experts to push the boundries further, but just a few is enough
