But we trust those tools to do the job correctly. The compiler has considerable latitude in messing with the details so long as the result is guaranteed to match what was ordered--when we find any deviation from that even in an edge case we consider it a bug (Borland Pascal debugger, I'm looking at you. I wasted a *lot* of time on the fact that in single step mode you peacefully "execute" an invalid segment register load!) LLMs lack this guarantee.
