I mean, sometimes work falls exactly at the tool's strongest suit/match.

I am trying to think of what a comparison here could be but, for example, I remember early days in my career where pretty much 80% of the work was writing boilerplate and using scaffolding/generator tools, plugging them in the various plumbing and pipes of the stack, and just ticking boxes through Jira

Lots of "CRUD" and/or similar "recipe" type of work that was really just turning your brain off and needed that grunt labour force

You may ask: why is the person even needed?

My answer is the same as before: I don't know, I didn't know why were they needed back them either, felt like all could be automated as well, maybe the cost to invest in automating and mapping that all out was never a priority and the ROI math was "good enough" for the business while leadership had other north stars they were worried about?
