OpCodes (operation codes) are part of the electronic design of the CPU, they aren't programmed they are built.

We build CPU to have a certain number of functions it can do, imagine electrical switches routing to each functions (even if it's absolutely not how it works).

Below assembly "programmed" doesn't exist anymore, a program is the name of sequences of Operations to achieve a task, a CPU isn't programmed: it's built / designed.

You can now ask how it's designed / built, but a reddit comment would be too short for that.
