It also doesn't make sense, that a scientist, who can implement a jetpack and some functions into a cell phone in mere seconds, can build a transforming robot, and can hack into multiple systems of presumably the best security systems available to monsters, has to use blueprints to operate her own construction, and have no idea what to do with the substance it extracts.

Alphys is a scientist, and seems to be good in her own field, but that is technology-, and not soul related.
