I think the difference is whether agent availability in the future is guaranteed. I agree that no one had the whole picture before, but at least theoretically you could replace x employees with another workforce who in time could be expected to match the understanding and output of the original workforce. With agents, if capability is consolidated with a single organisation and that organisation changes it's terms of business, you cannot replace the army of AGI-agents with a human workforce. It's a single and total point of failure.
