Haven’t many of the gains gone to the customers who are buying CNC parts? That competition and reduction in labor cost per part means that some people can now afford CNC parts who couldn’t have afforded manually crafted parts previously.

Potentially yes, as long as the competition doesn't destroy the manufacturing landscape, e.g. by emergence of lowest-common-denominator or monopoly suppliers.
