I don't think the motive is "trying to make your profession as a developer obsolete" or that these actions are effective in doing so.

That depends. If we talk about high-quality apps, innovative applications, products used by millions of users, I'm sure you're right. And I guess most HN users (if involved at all), will probably doing these things. But for smaller apps, smaller companies/clients, I definitely disagree. Those companies will start to think that every business should have its own app, just as everybody needs their own website, and so they turn to "chayns" (or competitors) to get a free mass-produced app. That does harm to the overall quality of apps as well, of course.
