This has been a repeated point since "enterprise" Java (a.k.a. Jabba) became a thing in the late 90s and early 2000s.

It ends up boiling down to the fact that compute power is a lot cheaper than developer time and really good developers are more expensive and harder to find than inexperienced ones.
