I agree with all of that, but that doesn't mean that the PMC fuckwits that run these companies wouldn't outsource to code sweatshops in the global south if they thought they could solve these problems.
Oh yeah of course, they did exactly that, because they thought exactly that, and they'll do it again if they come up with some way around this problem.
But I don't expect them to any time soon. That's why they're yelling at baristas to learn to code. They want to "outsource" the simpler coding work to cheaper Americans, and bring all wages down as a result. I'm pretty sure "Learn to code!!!" started after outsourcing died down.
