Without the source code and considering the size of an application

When that is the case, the lay person is totally at the mercy of the vendor.
And since most DAW systems consist of products from multiple vendors that have
not necessarily been integrated so well, they are often at the mercy of a
bunch of people pointing fingers at one another.

This is why it's good to learn how things work inside.

Of course it's good to learn how things work.
But you seem to be the one who said a debugger is a required tool for
every pc user, or something similar.
Considering that unless the user is running Linux, which means he more
than likely has the source code, a debugger is almost totally useless.
Sorry but you don't know seem to know what you are talking about.
