Tech will learn like manufacturing folks did that experience is not fungible. You can try to replace someone, but the new guy also needs to accumulate the scars from the system for years before taking over.
You cannot just keep abstracting and chopping systems to smaller and smaller subsystems to make them easy to digest.
At some point someone needs to know how these coordinate and behave under disturbances. At some point someone needs to know at a low level what the hell is going on.
I don't know, manufacturing seems to have learned pretty well that they can ship everything overseas and people will eventually accept products just aren't made the same way they used to be.
If AI is to tech what outsourcing was to manufacturing, then your analogy has me concerned for the future.
Good point. They can start offering 95% availability for services, initially for a better price. Then just bring the market expectation to 95% availability and raise prices.

I mean this is true, but we aren't talking about the consumer here. We're talking about the industry which is to say the powerful people who own and run all these companies.
What has happened is that those overseas countries now have all the experienced engineers over there and they know it. So you see things like the Trump admin begging Korean companies to keep their workers in the US because they understand how to actually do these things. And the reason the Trump admin did that is because they owe favors to the rich people who want to profit off of factories in the US.
