Coding is just one of many possible skills you use as a maker; do you think everyone into 3d printing is a stm32 programmer or designs and manufactures their own pcb's? Of course not. Software is just a component. If your kick is software, great; but it doesnt need to be. Also, just because you use an LLM it doesnt mean one is not learning; how do you think you learned how to speak?

No.
If you want to build something, what matters is the idea, not whether you already have the knowledge to build it.
Before the era of LLMs, plenty of people learned programming from scratch to be able to program a board. That has never ever been a blocker.
