I'm finding counterexamples of this constantly now that I can have an agent rewrite large sections of my codebase that have been sorely needing it.

- Moving to a newer and more modern test library

- Refactoring my data layer so it's easier to read, based on years of organic changes that need to be baked in and simplified

- Porting some functionality to another language to vastly improve performance

I agree with the overall sentiment, but having an agent at my finger tips who can really crank out large-scale, involved code changes is unclogging quite a few backburnered todos lately for me.
