Is the world any better for them existing? The decline of coding and sw engineering skills in humans from outsourcing the practice of it to AI is it worth it and sustainable long term?

The world is going to be no worse than it was when humans transitioned from writing assembly to writing compilers for high level languages. Assembly is still necessary, but not that often. In the same way writing code is going to become less necessary as tools are going to be written in higher level language in standards and requirements documents instead of code most of the time, with more specific exact coding only occasionally.

Programmers were mostly solving the same plumbing problems over and over in secret because of "proprietary" needs to hide your code, but one million separate integrations of your billing backend with Stripe didn't really add to humanity. We're cutting out the boring middle drudgery and human effort is going to be freed up to work on the edges of human knowledge instead of tromping around in the middle.
