The use of tools is not specifically restricted to humans , since even crows can use sticks and stones to get to food in hard to reach places. But humans do have a longer history of making and refining tools , and we even used the simpler ones to make more complex ones, almost to mindblowing sequences.
But not everyone is in for ever more complex stuff. There is a certain elegance in for instance classic cars, as they usually are way more maintainable by normal people than the modern cars: Those are so jam-packed with sensors and software that usually it is the car that tells you it has a defect, rather than you finding out the normal way because it sounds off.
And then such a diagnostic system tells you to take it to the garage, as if you are a slave to the machine . Often though, it's the sensor itself that fails, and the engine is running perfectly. Also, the more complex a system , the more it is possible to rig the system . And it's as ancient as everything : even when I was a boy, my dad working at a Volkswagen garage, he told me the spark plugs of the Bug were the very same as those of the Posche 911, and the only difference was the price...
