But losing it may free up resources to gain other things. Like how "losing" assembly skills allowed people to dedicate more capability to higher-level approaches.

Sure that could happen. Nothing against that. But I am not fully confident. As a counter example, we have ORMs. They bring value but I have seen enough devs who are too reliant on it and don’t develop a good understanding of how the underlying database behaves. This could be actually detrimental to the work.

Maybe we will have a mixed result similar to ORM example. It can lower the barriers to entry, which is good, but won’t eliminate the need for deep expertise. At least initially.
