The issue here is that, while code is easy to write for these tasks, the hard part is understanding the requirements and engaging with stakeholders.
There's a good level of business/domain expertise required. Of course, someone else could do that and just the coding part could be offshored. But at that point how is that different than the US analyst/offshored programmer business model of the 90's?
