Last is something that is embarrassingly extractable, which makes it a bad example (you shouldn't write that function anyway in 99% of cases - surely someone wrote it already in stdlib of your language).

It's like taking "list.map(x -> x*x)" as a proof that parallelism is easy.

Most code is not embarrassingly extractable (or at least not at granularity of 3 lines long methods).
