I agree with you but I believe the definition of handcrafted will shift to include software produced partly by AI, just as most handcrafted things involve industrial machinary at some point.
But then, I can also imagine a world where nobody cares enough about writing code and instead we have "human designed software" just as we currently have human designed cars and fridges but few made by hand (and no market for them). Then, handwritten software becomes an impressive curiosity like Chris Sawyer's original Rollercoaster Tycoon written entirely in ASM.
Etsy like situation is very possibly. Where people will simply lie about something being handcrafted to sell it at some sort of premium. And then when questioned defend it with reasoning like everyone else is doing it or it doesn't matter or it is actually superior.
