"Terrified" is a strong word for the death of any craft. And as long as there are thousands that love the craft, then it will not have died.
I think that unlike physical art, there aren't actually enough people who recognize or even care about your craft. Sure the codebase is super maintainable and that half-pixel line ties things up beautifully, but nobody cares other than your peers. Your peers won't give you a salary.
