The main argument for LLM-driven development is much simpler: "It will get better".

The current state of LLM coding is about a year old. Imagine if we dismissed human coding efforts after a year. Rust, Python2 -> Python3 transition, Python type checking, Windows, C++, … nothing of that was done in a year and emerged in perfection in the first year. Everything takes ages to mature into a usable product. LLM coding is still in the "throw mud at the wall and see what sticks" stage, give it some more years and see how it will develop and what approaches actually work at. For the time being, LLMs are just the most useful development tool in the history of development tools, that's a pretty solid start in such a short time.
