> The end state, I think, is that everyone who needs small software to manage a todo list or synchronize files, or whatever "normal" people do, will end up with bespoke personalized software written by their own AI. SWEs will be reduced to working on only the big corporate projects.

I think you vastly overestimate the amount of B2C software and underestimate the amount of B2B and “internal” software. Consider also how much more complex “business” processes are than “personal” processes.
