Very interesting point, dealing with technology and innovation.
The last sentence of your post about "it would free up a ton of spare time" was/is a cornerstone of the communist doctrine. It was a powerful "dangling carrot" for years, targeted at the intellectual people, who are essentially lazy.
The previous comment draws up "capitalism", I am drawing up "communism". Wow, your post IS dangerous! :-D
The other day I read that technology is built faster than people can mentally adapt to it. The distribution chain will not change so radically as you also point out, but the coming iterations will take less time that's for sure and we all need to adapt to it. I cannot tell however, if developers will need to become "technology facilitators" in the future, instead of selling themselves as drupal coders as it is now.
Cheers, and kudos to your creative leadership in the drupal universe.
Dries,
