I don't think know if this is accurate. I am not primarily a coder, but as a researcher I cannot afford to pay someone to code for me. Thus, I need to do the code myself, and AI can be pretty helpful with that (though I haven't found 100% vibe coding to be useful.)
I think there are lots of people in a similar boat, where their specialization is outside coding, but they have a vision that requires some coding and they can't afford to hire a professional coder for that purpose. AI fills that gap fairly nicely.
But the article is emphasizing if the market needs or even cares about your vibe coded app

More people need to understand this framing.

That's hard to say, right? I mean, the creator of Stardew Valley basically did everything himself. Someone might have told him, "Don't do the artwork yourself, hire a professional artist," or "Don't write the dialogue yourself, hire a professional writer." But in the end, he made his vision and it turned into one of the most successful games of all time.
