Their assertion that cURL is used to fetch the web page you're reading seems...misplaced. Browsers almost certainly do not use libcurl to fetch web pages. Though I do agree that libcurl is ubiquitous.
In terms of software projects themselves, consulting companies do, the same that now are pushing for AI solutions, which are the trenches I find myself in.
Now for the whole economic chaos, unfortunately the whole society will, but not the big tech folks.
Vibecoding for anything beyond prototypes is a bad idea. Software engineering principles still matter. Good software that is maintainable and has quality in functional, non-functional, and operational axes still matters.
I wrote about this a few weeks ago in my blog. As an industry, we need to move past vibecoding and into rightcoding.

And those prices are still subsidized. OpenAI, Anthropic, etc are nowhere close to generating profits.
