This is a natural pattern. Treat "coding is becoming accessible to everyone" as writing or reading has become accessible to everyone.

Coding was just a mechanism/tool developed to talk more efficiently to machines. We did it with binary, assembly etc once upon a time. Then it got easier and easier. Less people use the older mechanisms. But the tool was never the point of the story. Talking to the machine to get something done was the point of the story. Just like human language emerged to help move info from one 3 inch chimp brain into another so they could work together more smoothly.

At the end of the day the story is never about a specific tool like Software. It has always been about what problem the tool can be used to produce solutions.
