Thanks for this article. It feels like a huge problem to discuss the nuance described here.
There will be people who will carelessly create unmaintainable software, and they might do it to bamboozle someone who is paying for the work that experienced people can deliver.

These things are objectively bad.
It is not bad to use these tools, or any others, to do the best work you can provide.
