Isn’t that half or more of employed software developers? The complexity that you speak of are poorly refined business requirements or unnecessary abstractions, which are communications problems not a technology problem. Nearly all of those CRUD app developers are replaceable right now, which is striking considering the current immaturity of AI.

You might be underestimating how quickly a basic CRUD web app turns into a very complicated CRUD web app. I don't see AI code tools slowing this down.
