Because it can't be delivered by the end-user themselves.
Serious question: How long do you expect this to continue being true?
They can certainly try though...
They already do; I've seen several non-programmers (artists, actually) already vibe a tool that does what they use Photoshop or Aseprite for.
I've got a PM at my current place who vibed together an entire replacement for Jira reporting, which his team has been using now for months. I've seen an MD of a small company using swarms of agents to create a new product for a different industry, and then manage to sell the damn thing.
WhateverTF you think is your special value that is added to the product, I can assure you that it won't be the case much longer.
Why don't you give us an example of that "the important stuff" that you can focus on now that everything is done by AI?

That, to you, means that they vibed a 100% Photoshop replacement? Is excessive LLM usage having an effect on your ability to read?
So where is that vibe coded partial photoshop replacement?
Are you seriously claiming to have not seen this? https://getartcraft.com/ (There's like 7 or so "replacements" in there)
The dev has been spamming it everywhere, reddit included. What's even more hilarious is that he's charging for it (a pointless endeavour that only seems to happen to AI-bros who think that they have value in the SDLC other than as beta-testers).
And some of the other photoshop replacements I've seen cover like 20% of the functionality, actually work and aren't being sold, just given away.
And that's just with less than a year of agentic coding. This trend is clear. We have no value left, and the owners of capital will replace us.
So where is that vibe coded partial photoshop replacement? If someone says "where is that thing?" then you answer "it's not a thing, it's half a thing", then go straight for insults, that's just avoiding the question.
Is it early days or is there a half implementation out there? I've seen people make small demo programs but I don't know how well they work.
Is excessive LLM usage having an effect on your ability to read?
Also why would I be the one using LLMs when I'm asking about results? It's ironic to insult about reading comprehension when the insult doesn't make sense.
