Sometimes, and for some people, the right language can actually simplify problems and hide complexity that isn't immediately necessary to the problem at hand. The whole idea is to abstract away models and worry about them separately. This is one of the motivations for the various synthetic theories that are getting researched in the last several years - the one mentioned here happens to be for Category Theory.

This doesn't work for everyone though; some people find it easier to stay grounded in specific models.
