Well, with fewer architecture astronauts overdoing things, all those extra abstractions and dimensions of extensibility that never get used never get written, so one might hope the code is simpler in the long run. But right now coding agents just love writing code, and they don't have a lot of taste for boundaries and architecture, so we have the loop-unrolled, big-pile-of-ifs kind of logic that isn't good.
