I was a junior system administrator... And became an early cloud adopter... I think your viewing is valid, but yes, biased by your knowledge. Since you already know system administration, it's not hard for you to manage another system... That's your day job, what's a personal one? But for people who prefer code, handing that off is a blessing. I runs small light sail vps.. it took me only a few hours to write up scripts to manage containers.. and a few more hours to automate backups to a secure location in another AWS account... But for today years, what I just described is impossible, or a 1-2 week task.. not an afternoon... And this is our bias... For us, it's easier than learning lambda, or api gateway... But for them, those are easier than learning system administration. I also disagree with the idea we are becoming obsolete... I work in a serverless DevOps environment for 4+ years and still explain basic networking concepts regularly... Stuff that don't teach much of in computer science... Like failover DNS ... While managing DNS was moved to the cloud, many still don't understand the technical reasonings of things.
