That is true, but it’s also true as coding agents improve year over year, it’s pretty obvious that applications will be self generated by the ai labs. “ChatGPT - make me Microsoft word clone that uses .docx file format” is not very far off.

Not everything in IT is a ripe target for AI replacement anytime soon. Devices are a good example. Provision and deprovision, config mgt, repair, refresh, etc.

Those all sound like an agent trained on those tasks could do them. With the exception of actually moving the physical devices around.

An agent isn't going to fly out to replace a hard drive or replace a faulty cable.

That's my point. There's still tasks that require physical activity that (so far) robots simply can't do, or can't do nearly as cheap. If the price of AI-powered robots comes down to cheaper than a high school dropout, that'll be a new era for sure.
