AI makes it far less tedious to write out that test code […]

Completely disagree.
In my experience, LLMs constantly generate bad code that needs to be thoroughly checked, to the point that writing by hand is more practical.

In my case Valve definitely deserves a cut, as I’m only buying the game because steam makes it really easy to play it on linux.
Their work on drivers and proton is what makes me buy the games, because if I have to tinker just to play on my preferred OS, I’ll tinker with pirated versions instead.
