I think I see the opposite - a Game of Life logic gate is way harder to understand than just a symbol representing the logic itself. And I see most logic gate transistor implementations as much simpler and so easier.

I meant zooming in on the hardware very literally. Watching electrons in a transistor. Logic diagrams are naturally easier to understand than what they describe.

Right but the motion of each signal is observable in the game of life version.
