Saying this is saying like "why do we need architects to design houses if all of them are just four walls and a roof?" Software engineering is not that different from mechanical or civil engineering or whatever other kinds of it. However you automate any design process, you'll still need engineers to properly utilize that automation, customize, verify, maintain (oversee manufacturing or software deployment) and fix problems.
