There's an older article that gets reposted to HN occasionally, titled something like "I hate almost all software". I'm probably more cynical than the average tech user and I relate strongly to the sentiment. So so much software is inexcusably bad from a UX perspective. So I have to ask, if code will really become this dirt cheap unlimited commodity, will we actually have good software?

Depends on whether you think good software comes from good initial design (then yes, via the monkeys with typewriters path) or intentional feature evolution (then no, because that's a more artistic, skilled endeavor).
Anyone who lived through 90s OSS UX and MySpace would likely agree that design taste is unevenly distributed throughout the population.
