A hammer hammers.

It hammers 100% of the time, with no failure.

It requires the same amount of labour from my part but it delivers the same outcome every time.

That is what tools do, they act as an extension and allow you to do things not easily done otherwise.

If the hammer sometimes hammers, sometimes squeaks and sometimes screws then it requires extra labour from my part just to make it do what purpose specific tools do, and that is where frustrations arise.

Make it do one thing excellent and we talk then.

IMO this is exactly the wrong mental model.

You can't hammer a nail a 1000 times and pick the best hammered nail.

You can have the hammer iterating over the structure 24/7, finding imperfections in previous hammered nails.

This is imposing arbitrary constraints on the model and that when you give a human just a hammer, they tend to start to view everything like a nail.
