It's definitely part of the SaaS-apocalypse story. LLMs shine at making little programs that integrate with an existing API to do some small task. Management has always overestimated the effort to develop that kind of thing and underestiamted the effort to develop applications with GUIs because... user interfaces are the Vietnam of computer science.
The greatest danger of the current time is that the likes of Salesforce and LinkedIn who have something interesting behind an API or web site try to lock down access so instead of using competitive high-quality AI agents we're stuck with the brain damaged AI agents they want to force on us.
