Just to point...

You had the answer the entire time :)
Features that require a brain between the AI and key-presses just don't sell. Don't expect to see them for sale. (But we can still get them for free.)
I don’t think I understand your point.
Are you saying that people of a certain competence level lose interest in force-multiplying tools? I don’t think you can be saying that because there’s so much contrary evidence. So what are you saying?
Other way around. The masses aren’t interested in force-multiplying tools. They only want to buy force-eliminating tools. They don’t want to work smarter or harder. They don’t want to work at all.
A fairly misanthropic view that hasn’t born out in my experience.
I'm saying they don't sell.
Some times people want them so badly that they will self-organize and collaborate outside of a market to make them. But a market won't supply them.
And yes, it's a mix of many people not being competent enough to see the value on them, markets putting pressure on companies to listen disproportionately to those people, publicity having a very low signal to noise ratio that can't communicate why a tool is good, and companies not respecting their customers enough to build stuff that is good for them (that last one isn't inherent to a market economy, but it near universal nowadays).
Either way, the software market just doesn't sell tools as useful as the GP is talking about.
