You think someone writing custom software can't solve problems?
Also, a 3d printer is just an additive cnc machine, learning how to operate, tweak, tune, write gcode, etc, is an incredibly important skill in manufacturing and r&d, CAD skills are not niche, they are incredibly sought after.
Learning how to use and modify a 3d printer at an early age, as well as learning software development, and practicing connecting disparate systems is one of the best things you could do if you want to become an engineer.
"He can't do back of the envelope calculations, think quickly, or solve problems." This is just made up, completely. That is literally just a fantasy created in your head.
