... Software no longer needs to be preserved. Systems will be created, tested and discarded naturally.

By far the dumbest word vomit take on software I've seen in a while. Who wouldn't want to have tax systems and critical infrastructure being treated like slop with no accountability, and many rewrites because "software is no longer scarce"...

Non developers and non technical people that are already accustomed to bad software, basically following the broken window problem combined with lack of knowledge to do better.

I'm not saying I agree, and I hope saner heads prevail, but I can definitely see the future trending this direction not because it's best but because it's easier and maybe cheaper (by some measurement).
