I have been asking LLMs to review/edit prompts since GPT4o era, so I really don't know what the point of this snarky comment is.

Since GPT4o, I have been convinced that most of the digital work would be done by AI and humans' job is to "move the chairs around to not block AI's way." It's a given to me. I'm just debating whether reading the code makes me a better chair-remover.

Don’t think it was snarky. My guess is op is just suggesting that you could automate further, but you are ratcheting toward it one step at a time while op is suggesting to allow the ai more autonomy.
