Yeah I am noticing this as well. GPT enables you to do difficult things really easily, but then it is so expensive you would need to replace it with custom code for any long term solution.
For example: you could use GPT to parse a resume file, pull out work experience and return it as JSON. That would take minutes to setup using the GPT API and it would take weeks to build your own system, but GPT is so expensive that building your own system is totally worth it.
Unless they can seriously reduce how expensive it is I don't see it replacing many existing solutions. Using GPT to parse text for a repetitive task is like using a backhoe to plant flowers.
