I brew belgians nearly exclusively and tripels mostly. It is really enjoyable to brew with the step mashes so far I have used boiling additions, but as the temperatures get higher either the calculators fail me or I can count quarts. Not sure which. I have made my old copperhead immersion chiller into a herms coil and am gonna try that out with a Saison tomorrow. I think a large percentage of brewers are engineers or engineering inclined and wort production lends itself to that aspect of brewing. though you should see what I can do with an electric blanket, a temp controler and a fermentor.

You, yourself were the possible inventor of and certainly a promoter of an easy mashing method (batch sparging) that can be done in affordable equipment. Are you suggesting that this method is not valid now? Or that it's more important to have a wort machine than temperature controlled fermentation? Or than . Make yeast starters? Of course not. I have nothing against fancy equipment. But it's old timers know, it's not necessary.
