Well said.

I've found that I reach for Copilot most often when working on frontend javascript code. Will the incentive to improve the frontend libraries, browser standards, etc vanish now that LLMs let us avoid some of this pain?

I wonder if they will improve in a specific direction - frameworks and libraries built to be easier for LLMs to use.

This could even happen through accidental evolution - a framework that is easier on an LLMs context window results in more successful projects, which results in more training data, which results in LLMs being even better at it.
