I can understand because I find MCAD drafting to be a chore and like that I can describe a script to generate geometry now for most things.

Even still, it's difficult for me to fully get it. There is so much art in ECAD layout. There are many dimensions to weigh and high levels of thought and care can result in a higher quality, lower cost product. Many nuances are not properly captured by simplistic automations or chatbots and won't be for some time. Things that accelerate schematic capture, layout capture, library management, and simulation are all useful tools. They're most effective when used with care and thoughtfulness.
