It's bizarre isn't it. It being treated as though actually knowing how to write quality code by hand is a skill that's somehow been lost to time...

I can only guess that a lot of the engineers who went into software purely for money were all too happy to distance themselves from writing code and really don't want to go back...

Also skill atrophy due to over-reliance on these tools is a real thing. And for some people it happens really fast, just a couple of months before they start noticing a difference (like with two of my co-workers - one stated directly to me, another indirectly through a team member).
