Why? People don't ask hammers to do much more than bash in nails into walls.

AI coding tools can be incredibly powerful -- but shouldn't that power be focused on what the tool is actually good at?

There are many, many times that AI coding tools can and should be used to create a "small program that already exists in multiple forms in the training data."

I do things like this very regularly for my small business. It's allowed me to do things that I simply would not have been able to do previously.

People keep asking AI coding tools to be something other than what they currently are. Sure, that would be cool. But they absolutely have increased my productivity 10x for exactly the type of work they're good at assisting with.
