I recommend you get acquainted with LLMs and code assistants, because a few of your assertions are outright wrong. Take for example any of the mainstream spec-driven development frameworks. All they do is walk you through the SRS process using a set of system prompts to generate a set of documents featuring usecases, functional requirements, and refined tasks in the form of an actionable plan.
Then you feed that plan to a LLM assistant and your feature is implemented.
I seriously recommend you check it out. This process is far more structured and thought through than any feature work that your average SDE ever does.

I use them daily, thanks for your condescension.

Did you read this part of my comment?

I'm not criticizing spec-driven development frameworks, but how battle-tested are they? Does it remove the inherent ambiguity in natural language? And do you believe this is how most people are vibe-coding, anyway?
