Because it's not (yet) that easy, especially if we're talking a complex and genuinely useful app. Agentic coding is fast, but it's not magic.

Exactly. Which is why Joe Average still will have little to no luck vibe coding anything serious or novel. You still (IME) need a lot of active guidance, still need to push away from dead ends and propose alternative algorithms, and it takes hundreds of prompts to go from concept to what I would consider beta. (But, this is just my own experience, and it's possible I'm doing it wrong?)

Or they ask us to "review" their 10k loc PR in 2 hours. The spirit of the parent comment is true. People feel like it's productive and even if they make something worse, they are going to use it.
