With SAAS getting pounded into the earth where do ALTs sit?

Obviously AI is changing everything in the software space. I am a geologist, can't code but thanks to claude I replaced 3 SAAS products I have used and paid for, for 15 years (although I'm pretty sure 15 years ago there was not bullshit subscriptions). Anyway my question is where does this leave lots of alts. Isn't this going to mean that any tech around interoperability, infrastructure and utility is going to be next to worthless if it doesn't already have market penetration? I'm pretty worried that any tech or concept advantage any chain has is close to worthless if they don't already have some kind of foothold.
