There’s a nugget of an idea in there, even if I disagree with most of it.

But code doesn’t only need to be understood for maintenance purposes: code is documentation for business processes. It’s a thing that needs to be understandable and explainable by humans anytime the business process is important.

LLMs can never / should never replace verifiability, liability, or value judgment.

We've not really seen what impact this will have just yet.
