A major complaint with AI code was that AIs struggle with complex codebases, don't respect existing conventions, reinvent functionality multiple times over, etc. So, newer high end AIs are tuned with the "explore/exploit" dial turned towards "explore".
You could probably get it to do things "quick and dirty" with prompting, but that, of course, requires prompting for it.
