Not necessarily in tech, also in tech, but in healthcare, in care for children, truck driving. These tend to be like the jobs in which we have the most scarce labor.

Even if it would, then you would have to maintain it. And suddenly you need engineering resources to maintain an internal tool as opposed to engineering resources like building useful stuff for customers.
