Definitely true currently, which is why there's so much focus on using them to write real code that humans have to actually commit and put their names on.

Longer term, I don't think this holds due to the nature of capitalism.

If given a choice between paying for an LLM to do something that's mostly correct versus paying for a human developer, businesses are going to choose the former, even if it results in accelerated enshittification. It's all in service of reducing headcount and taking control of the means of production away from workers.
