I imagine we'll get to "good enough" for hobbyist programmers fairly quickly, but businesses will still be willing to pay more for faster and smarter. Why make your programmers wait?

That depends on where the methodology goes. But more and more it's hands off. If the trajectory continues it won't matter because nobody is sitting their waiting / watching the LLM code anyway. It is all happening in the background. We might see hybrid approaches where the weaker / cheaper agent tries to solve it and just "asks for help" from the more expensive agent when it needs it etc.

My personal experience is that for production-grade code you need to steer the agent more often than not... so yes, at least some of us are watching the LLM code.
