Photography didn't replace drawing and painting.

Also if you are doing something interesting with digital photography it is definitely not just pressing a button.

Exactly, this won't replace all other forms of art and if you're doing the "just press the button" equivalent you won't get things that are that great.

At worst the complaint seems to be "with care you can more easily create good art" which is a very odd complaint.
