Every tech company’s goal is to grow into the thing that you, as a dev, don’t want it to become. There will be a growing focus on security, process, reporting, testing, documentation, reliability, etc. And a shrinking focus on new feature development, prototyping, experimentation. For many that might be something to embrace. Maybe you’re 35 now and have kids and wouldn’t mind a more boringly reliable employment. Otherwise you might want to find a new job. But, yeah, nobody’s being wronged here. It’s just what happens. Like my kids growing up and needing me less and less.
