If companies think that this way of working is cutting development time and/or cost then it's the future. I think most companies' management would still leave decisions like that in the hands of developers/development-teams. At the level of management, I think companies aren't asking for "code" but for results (a website, an application, a feature). Results with blemishes or insecurities are fine but a stream of entirely broken code wouldn't be seen as cost effective.

If shortsighted management can offshore to the lowest bidder, they can believe that a few junior devs and ML code generation can replace a team of seniors. Sure, they can leave the decisions of frameworks in the hands of developers and development teams, but if those people are asked to justify the budgetary costs when compared to ML code generation it is no longer a technical argument. The problem always comes later (often after the manager has moved on and is no longer aware of the mistakes that were made and the repercussions can't follow) where the maintenance costs of poorly written initial code come back to haunt the origination for years to come.
