In software you don't have direct access to that bit. Yes, in hardware the computers are working with bits at the smallest level, but in software we are touching bytes at least even when we think we are touching bits. Yes, bit twiddling is a thing, but in that case you are manipulating bytes at minimum, or more likely a register quite a bit bigger than a byte.
