I'm seeing parallels between this and factory-assembled houses.

Input costs are lower and velocity is higher. You get a finished product out the door quicker, though maintenance is more expensive. Largely because the product is no longer a collection of individual parts made to be interfaced by a human. It is instead a machine-assembled good that requires a machine to perform "the work". Therefore, because the machine is only designed to assemble the good, your main recourse is to have the machine assemble a full replacement.

With that framing, there seems to be a tradeoff to bear in mind when considering fit for the problem we're meaning to solve. It also explains the widespread success of LLMs generating small scripts and MVPs. Which are largely disposable.
