"Who knows, it could fund some coding courses which return to quaint, old-fashioned skills like writing lean, efficient code that doesn't have to load 700Mb of libraries and require 16Gb of RAM plus multiple cores just to offer a welcome screen ...?"
Those days are gone, its all about rapid deployment, being agile, continuous deployment, devops style. While that is the aim, lean efficient code isn't really possible as it would require a lower level language to be used, with the time and understanding needed to write it.
