I've always actually looked at this as a positive. Rather than mindlessly pumping out templated Wordpress sites, developers can actually focus on solving real problems for real businesses. We can focus on what really drives us as developers and push web further. The products mentioned may help small businesses gain a web presence (which is great!), but anything that requires custom work (medium+ businesses, many startups, government, etc.) there's just no possible way cookie cutter products can compete with real developers.
I've been in the business in one way or another for the past 15 or so years and I've never seen such a demand for frontend and backend web developers as we have now. I think as long as you can develop your skillset to those businesses that require custom work you will have plenty of work come your way.

Thank you for this, it give me hope
