You're missing the point that it isn't worse than what's already out there for them.

They've implemented only the parts they need, and removed all the crap that just complicates the system for them. They've made it do exactly what they need, exactly how they need it. It's something that you couldn't afford to do previously, sometimes even as a programmer. Now, it's often quick and easy, up to a certain complexity.

I'd say that's more indicative of what kind of things people in your bubble generally work on.

I vibe-coded a semantic parser for Lojban.

A friend of mine is using it to work on dev tooling.

Another friend, a mathematician, has recently used it to prove a conjecture he published 15 years ago.
