It's funny - IMHO the Hoodie Uniform was developed because people didn't seem to care about fashion or the clothes they were wearing - the stereotypical devs. I can also see how this has come full circle now though, as I think to my own office and if anyone did come in a suit, they would stick out like a sore thumb.
On one level, it seems to be a shame - suits do show a kind of respect or reverence for the place of work. On another, I think suits have their place, but as work places aim to make their offices more people friendly (some would say to keep them in the office longer) people's attires will naturally mold to fit the environment. Perhaps the dying out of the suit is something of a reflection of modern work practices and should be just seen as another item of clothing someone chooses to wear, without the significance of it being 'smart' or 'formal'.
