A big part of this is the switch from traditional programming (just write code) to cloud based programming (combine cloud resources together like "lego blocks"; code is just one block among many others).
This reduces the importance of writing code and shifts focus into new development tools like AWS CDK. More and more of development work is about defining Step Functions logic and setting up various cloud events that hook all the pieces together.
It's not trivial to replicate ALL the hundreds of cloud services at home. So we accept that development is done in batches and deployment takes a while. It could be better if course, but it's not only about Lambda any more. It's about CloudFormation in general.
