This does seem to be true in the vibe coding era, which I expect will implode at some point. But LLMs could certainly lead to a future where vulnerabilities are scarce. The best time to vet security factors is designing the model and writing the initial code, and LLMs are extraordinarily useful for this too. Most code with security implications is not written by a security expert.
An LLM can be the most anal and well informed security expert you can find. If you write the code yourself but have one in the loop from the start, the code will be in much better shape.
