This seems to be addressed to people who want to hack game emulators for early game machines. So they cover the basics and then go on to a game emulator example.
In modern programming, bit-banging can usually be avoided. C++ and Rust both have bit fields in structs, and generics for sets of bits. If you're working on some data structure with AND, OR, and shift operations, that's kind of retro today. The compiler is probably better at doing that stuff than you are.
