Electrical circuits don’t HAVE to look like this. There’s nothing special about the placement of electrical circuits on silicon chips other than it’s near orderly to do so in a manner such as this. A disorganized chip would work just as well, it would just be harder to recreate or diagnose issues.
And a disorganized board wastes a lot of resources in when you have a tangle of unnecessary extra wiring and traces snaking around one another. Also with modern high-speed circuits that extra length in the electrical path slows down the signal significantly.
You should see the radio I built using point to point wiring, as it was built using discrete components (capacitors, resistors, coils, and vacuum tubes).
A circuit diagram is the key to diagnosing problems, no matter how the circuit is physically laid out.
