Recognition of how certain roles are becoming extremely specialized, as Adam smith first set out in his division of labor thesis in the wealth of nations as a way to increase productivity, succinctly critiqued by Robert Heinlein: “specialization is for insects”

Accountants used to be merchants, businessmen, politicians, lenders, financiers, and insurers all rolled into one. Now they are (at entry level, or working for the state at least) seen as excel jockeys and bean counters enforcing some arcane business/legal code that nobody else wants to touch

And as much as I hate to bring in taleb, most accountants/auditors have no skin in the game, and therefore what they do is intriscally boring. If they stood to lose a pound of flesh as in the merchant of Venice when the businesses they oversee go bankrupt, perhaps they would be written about in Shakespearean terms today
