"post-" usually means after, so I initially thought you were saying the internet is over. Maybe you could say "internet native" or something. I don't think it's true, by the way (the CPAN folks would have a word with you, just to mention one that comes to mind).
In response to your point, eventually, most of us who build software just want to use tools we know to get things done. There's a tremendous benefit to having few and highly trusted dependencies. Imagine civil engineering if every week there was a new flavor of concrete with different construction methods and structural properties.
Not too many people with a decade or more of development experience think that "downloading other people's random packages" is a fantastic or a confidence-inspiring idea. Ideally, those line-of-business CRUD apps that the modern world runs on should be write-and-forget, not rewritten continuously. This is why "churn" is a bad word to some. And yes, writing CRUD apps is pretty much solved, that is, it hasn't gotten that much more efficient in the last ten years if you look at the best tools.
