i think that game balance is really not the spirit of the mod. If you look at the forum a lot of the code shared are not about turtle/resource gathering(even so there is a few tree farm and quarry). It is really a mod about the fun of coding and making turtle/computer smart with the limited data they can get.
Sure the basic quarry program is somewhat OP for what it does, but try programming your own ones using ender three layer by pass and whatnot and you'll fell it more rewarding to get resources from it than using an expensive quarry you just had to put down to get to work.
Look at direwolf video for fun and balanced use of computercraft and you will never want to nerf it again. Just refrain yourself from abusing it.
