It's still there, but it's just a small snippet that gets uploaded as a Firebase proc or a Lambda function ... the point is that often (way) more than half of backend dev consists of "standard" things like signup, auth, sending emails, logging, monitoring and so on, much of which can be commoditized.
My wish or my intention is not to predict gloom and doom, I'm just trying to be realistic, I really see the writing on the wall. Devs who only do backend should be concerned, maybe not in the short term but for sure in the long term.
Goes the other way arround. You could go ahead and say frontend developers will not be needed because there will be very smart AI-powered app builders :D

Absolutely, eventually everything might be automated away, we can all go on eternal vacation.
