Just because humans do it that way doesn’t mean it’s the only or best way for intelligence to work. Humans don’t have utility functions, but you might make a similar argument that biological tissue is necessary for intelligence because humans are made of biological tissue.
Or it may be neglecting emergent properties - the idea that creativity is “fluid,” so to make something creative we can’t have any parts that are “not fluid.”
