The catch is that those people could, barring the AI advances we seem to be seeing, could retrain for an SWE labor market that lagged demand; that wont even be possible for devs put out of work in the future.

Those people who did retrain are the same devs being put out of work - which means they got hit with the setback twice and are worse off than people who started off as devs and thus only got hit once.
Like the allied bomber pilots in WWII looking down below at the firestorm knowing that there is a good chance (~45%) that they too will join their fate only later.
