Nicely summarised. Another important thing that clearly standsout (not to undermine the efforts and work gone into this) is the fact that more and more we are now seeing larger and more complex building blocks emerging (first it was embedding models then encoder decoder layers and now whole models are being duck-taped for even powerful pipelines). AI/DL ecosystem is growing on a nice trajectory.

Though I wonder if 10 years down the line folks wouldn't even care about underlying model details (no more than a current day web-developer needs to know about network packets).

PS: Not great examples, but I hope you get the idea ;)
