Maybe a combination of being expensive and knowledge/skills can be replaced with LLMs?

I think fundamentally the problem is how many languages and developer-niceties are LLMs going to need? Over the last two decades there's been an absolute explosion in tooling to make development better but an LLM is just as happy to vomit out Perl or PHP. Once the code generation tools reach a good-enough state who's even going to check how the sausage was made.
