Lots of folks jumping on the Arc comments. But what about the author’s actual question? I’ve been sensing it for quite some time - redesigns for the sake of redesign, not to enhance user experience or productivity.
People will continue to innovate, and some of that will involve software, but it doesn't mean there is a desperate need for software innovation.
There was a point where radio innovations were coming fast and furious. There was a point where mechanical engineering was progressing in leaps and bounds. Fields eventually slow down. It didn't put mechanical engineers out of work. But it's not the kind of field it was in (guessing) 1850.

I'm sure there must still be problems that can be solved with "more" software or "better" software, but those problems are getting harder and harder to find.
