Those are code generators. The code they generate is for the computer. The spec is still an abstraction layer designed for humans.

I am not aware of any code generators that read the swagger file every single API call and use that as if it were the code.

How is that any different than a WSDL? A WSDL could also be said to be designed for humans -- it's just XML -- but there are code generators for it too.
