It’s only a hard dependency if you don’t know and never learn how to program.

For developers who read and understand the code being generated, the tool could go away and it would only slow you down, not block progress.

And even if you don’t, it really isn’t a hard dependency on a particular tool. There are multiple competing tools and models to choose from, so if you can’t make progress with one, switch to another. There isn’t much lock-in to any specific tool.
