It's whimsical and reminds us what computer input used to be.

Ooof, yeah. I'm old enough to have done time inputting programs on a PDP-11 front panel this way. O_O

Nevermind assembly, you guys were literally writing the bits by hand.

We'd write assembly, hand assemble it to binary, then toggle it in, whee!

It's nostalgic in the best/worst way! Anyone old enough to remember the start of the 8-bit era (not the Apple ][+ and the Commodore Pet and the SOL, but before those, the Altair and IMSAI and the Byte-8) will have memories of using these switches to input a bootloader-type program that would let you load a stored program from an optical paper tape reader or a magnetic cassette tape. Set all the bits for a byte & store it, set all the bits for the next byte & store it...

It demonstrates how technology we take for granted obfuscates how complex basic tasks can be.
