It's an oscillation. It goes in cycles. Things formalize upward until you've reinvented XML, SOAP and WSDLs; then a new younger generation comes in and says "all that stuff is boring and tedious, here's this generation's version of duck typing", followed by another ten years of tacking strong types onto that.
MCP seems to be a new round of the cycle beginning again.
No they won't do that, because vibe coding boring tedious shit is easy and looks good to your manager.
I'm dead serious, we should be in a golden age of "programming in the large" formal protocols.
