If AI is being used to lower salary burdens, it categorically is partially or wholly replacing developers.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in this discussion, you can read examples of people who have used AI entirely to build their product. Previously they'd have had to hire a developer or become one themselves. This suggests to me it is indeed replacing developers - just not where you are choosing to look.
No, it's the economy that is shifting and the reason developers are getting fired. This causes wage lowering. AI is the excuse that let's companies corporate-speak around the economy.
That assumes all companies care about providing a good front end experience. Many do not. Many are actively hostile to their users.
If the economy wasn't completely broken you'd have a job right now.
If we had annual reverse hunger games the economy wouldn't be broken
In general, AI is not replacing developers yet. It's a convenient excuse to fire people for other reasons, and to pay lower wages.

If management could tell the difference between a good product and some fragile slop they wouldn't be in management, they would have a productive job.
