IMO you're not seeing this because nobody is coming up with good ideas because we're already saturated with apps. And apps are already releasing features faster than anyone wants them. How many app reviews have you read that say: "Was great before the last update". Development speed and ability isn't the thing holding us back from great software releases.
I am very willing to believe that there are many obscure and low-quality apps being generated by AI. But this speaks to the fact that mere generation of code is not productive, that generating quality applications requires other forms of labor that is not presently satisfied by generative AI.
