Alternate take: The cost of building software will remain the same but software will need to be 10x as feature-rich to remain competitive.

If you can build it in a weekend so can I. So you're going to have to figure out bigger things to build.

We might actually get all the software we actually need. We won’t have to listen to antiquated DMV/IRS/health systems not being updated because the projects designed to replace them failed.
