>> software development has gotten infinitely easier

Software development hasn't even gotten a magnitude easier, let alone infinitely. Every improvement has addressed accidental aspects not the essence.

by sheer accessibility of computers, programming has gotten easier. Computers used to be these behemoths, now, the usb-c to hdmi adapter I have lying around can do more FLOPS than the computer that took us to the Moon. Maybe not infinitely, but it's sure gotten easier and more accessible.
