Good point. The metaphor is much stronger than the grandparent realized: a great baker should spend some time to find the best oven, install it in their bakery, then (hopefully) never think about ovens again.
If "baker" denotes an individual whose job is to bake bread in a small bakery, then perhaps.
But we're more like industrial chefs, hired to "make" bread at scale (e.g. for Tesco or Walmart). As a software engineer, our roles may be much more about combining, improving, or making our own ingredients, machinery, and processes.
Then, when it comes to baking the bread, we're able to produce much more with less effort, or even hand off the final production to others.
