But the LLM will write that pretty much instantly after you've given it one example to extrapolate from.
It'll even write basic unit tests for your CRUD API while it's at it.

Sure—but I can also write it pretty instantly, with some judicious copy/pasting.
And the less instantly I can write it, the more petty nuances there are to deal with—things like non-trivial validation, a new database query function, a header that I need to access—the more ways an LLM will get it subtly wrong.
If I treat it as more than a fancy autocomplete, I have to spend all my time cleaning up after it. And if I do treat it as fancy autocomplete, it doesn't save that much time over judicious copy/pasting.
