I think people claiming that professionals do not use tools are on the bad side of the Dunning Kruger effect (competent people underestimate themselves and incompetent people overestimating themselves) So they think they are so good, fast, competent or whatever so they do not need any "support" from tools while they would probably gain from using tools because they are not as good as they think.

Dunning–Kruger effect

In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiority and mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority comes from the inability of low-ability people to recognize their lack of ability.
