I would say it's more like, for many businesses, a few icons and color choices is all they want in the first place. The bare minimum to have your site/app/whatever not be ugly or unprofessional. And now there are a lot of ways to do that without needing a designer.

I don't think this is a good way to make software, without someone whose job is to think about the person on the other side of the screen, but it is a way.

Good visual designers are immensely hard to find.

For something that most almost anyone can follow, there are a lot of failures out there.
