Here is my theory.

1) management types who have never coded love the idea that coders can be replaced or minimized by said tooling. hence hey fund any and all projects.

2) coders excited by llms reach out to the nearest projects they can relate to, namely, code assistants, test generation assistants, doc generation, and generally any automation in the coding workflow. so, you will see a lot of me-too tooling.
