In the presence of sufficiently good and ubiquitous tools, knowing how to do some base thing loses most or all of its value.
In a world where everyone has a phone/calculator in their pocket, remembering how to do long division on paper is not worthwhile. If I ask you "what is 457829639 divided by 3454", it is not worth your time to do that by hand rather than plugging it into your phone's calculator.
In a world where AI can immediately produce any arbitrary 20-line glue script that you would have had to think about and remember bash array syntax for, there's not a reason to remember bash array syntax.
I don't think we're quite at that point yet but we're astonishingly close.
