I share that notion, but I think the abstractions are the foundational tech stack we have had for decades, like the Web Standard or even bash. You need constraints, but not the unnecessary complexity that comes with many modern tech stacks (react/next) that were build around SV's hyper-scalability monopoly mentality. Reach for simple tools if the task is simple: KISS.

This is even more relevant in the context of generated code, where most of the time is spent reviewing rather than writing the code. Abstractions, by allowing the code to be more concise, help.

With LLM code, I'd rather have higher-level abstractions.

Not only that, but a way to factor systems so you can make changes to them without spooky action at a distance. Of course, you have to put in a lot of effort to make that happen, but that's why it doesn't seem to me that LLM's are solving the hard part of software development in the first place.
