The "novel AGI code" probably accounts for <5% of work by time spent. If they can reduce the remaining 95% of grunt work (wiring yet another DB query to a frontend, tweaking the build pipeline, automating GPU allocation scripts) then that means they can focus more on that 5%.

Then it looks like Company A spends 90% of time on novel research work (while LLMs do all the busy work) and Company B spends 5% of time on novel research work.

If it were that simple we’d already have AGI.

Just really think about what you just said, sure spend 5% of the time is on the bits nobody on earth has any idea how to accomplish that’s how people will approach this project. Organizationally the grunt work is a trivial rounding error vs the completely unbound we’ve got no idea how to solve this problems bits.
