The same is true of CPUs, which at their base level execute instructions line-by-line to move and load things in and out of stateful registers as well as doing simple mathematics.
Not going to keep arguing, as I can see from your other comments that you are going to try to hold this line, and also your reasoning doesn't really make sense.
Everyone has heard of Turing completeness. It does not imply that all distinctions between the semantics of languages and the structure of hardware thus are collapsed. It means that you can write an equivalent program using different semantics or different hardware.
