That's like saying kids should not learn to write because all the important books have now been written.

It's not about whether "programming is no longer a vital skill". It's that programming is socially and politically empowering knowledge, so that kids don't have to meekly accept the walls of an AI -powered "World Government" run by the likes of Jensen Huang.
