I am not a developer, so take this with a huge grain of salt, but this comment sounds a bit like old school photographers saying iPhone and Instagram are not for “real photographers.”
I think that's right. Tangentially related: have been thinking a lot lately how tone often (but not always) implies some kind of distortion in thinking. To a degree where you can _anticipate_, but not necessarily intelligently articulate why some position is incorrect.
I am a developer with a CS degree and think you hit the nail on the head with that observation. There are also plenty of other things developers have to know about now that you didn't have to 20 years ago - security, privacy concerns over data, devops etc.
It's very lazy thinking to resort to a "kids these days" mentality of modern software development.
