Why write script when more tokens does job

I find that it's usually management that ask for such things "because AI".

I mean using AI is a great way to interpret a query, determine if a helper script already exists to satisfy it, if not invoke a subagent to write a new script.

Problem with your "script" approach is how does that satisfy unknown/general queries? What if for one run you want to modify the behavior of the script?

Same thing could be said with SKILL.md yet they are highly useful...

Yes you can automate via scripting, but interacting with a process using natural language because every instance could be different and not solid enough to write a spec for, is really handy.

tl;dr: there's a place for "be liberal in what you receive and conservative in what you send", but only now have LLMs provided us with a viable way to make room for "be loosey goosey with your transput"

You say that with the wisdom of experience.

But there's still value in people exploring new spaces they find interesting, even if they do not meet your personal definition of pareto-optimal.
