I think the complexity of modern software, whether it's necessary or not, is often underestimated. There's still plenty of software you're not going to be able to build in a year, to a high standard of quality, no matter how many agents you throw at the problem.

But for me personally, the software I use on a day to day basis actually has changed drastically. I have lots of little apps and CLIs that speed up my workflows that I never had time to build in the past.
