I see this too. We now have dedicated programmers to maintain a program that was supposed to save time. Well that program(and a few others) made it so instead of having 120 (real) engineers, we have 7 engineers. The cost saving is real, it allows greater complexity, and the maintainer can add upgrades and work on other things as the program matures.
