This is 70% horse shit but if you do it like everyone else then yes, you are fucked. Every area of every area is getting more competitive.
The vast majority of product dev, consulting, and programming jobs are CRUD which is why the vast majority of computer science degrees are going to waste.
For clarity, throwing up a calculator, A todo list or A forum was really only profitable when it was on a “new” platform like the iPhone or marketed correctly to the correct group.
CRUD apps will be fine if it is a specialized ones like Grinder for Cats(Super specific social site/forum) or Twitter for albino little people from Albania. But if you are looking for low effort apps then sure but how much value were they adding even back then?
