I'd agree with this, over the years it's felt like the answer to giving more power or customisation has gone backwards to "we have an API" and "you need to learn a python / whatever language for this". I would say that we're continuing to move away from interfacing with computers as humans (with near natural language scripting, power TUI/UIs etc...) - to interfacing with computer as computers (writing code, digesting APIs etc....). I'm not saying it's a bad thing - but it's certainly something I've noticed and it does seem to cause a lot of NIH and reinventing the wheel.
