Exactly this. The shift from "writing code" to "reviewing code and focusing on architecture" is the natural evolution. Every abstraction layer in computing history freed us to think at higher levels - assembler to C, C to Python, and now Python to "describe what you want."
The people framing this as "cognitive debt" are measuring the wrong thing. You're not losing the ability to think - you're shifting what you think about. That's not a bug, it's the whole point.
