It would seem to me that purchasing a piece of software as an AI company is just an outright admission that they could not generate an equivalent piece of software for a better price?

If it was cheaper to use their internal AI to create these tools, they would.

Extremely stupid argument. It doesn’t matter how good is your car if the driver is lacking.

Not sure I follow - is the car the coding agent, and the developer the driver?

Agree with OP here, if AI coding tools are as intelligent and amazing as AI influencers and CEOs are saying, just prompt them to "Remake UV but faster & better".

Car is the coding agent. Developer is the driver.

If average dev is more intelligent and amazing than any coding model, just hire a team of average devs and “remake UV but faster & better”.
