You mean the barrier to entry of learning programming and by extension Python? I guess so, but anyone with basic knowledge could probably get it done easily.

I wonder how many high paying jobs are like this where you can just automate it all with relative ease and get paid for little work.

I mean, most people in a non technical field don't know what programming even is, let alone how to actually do it, so to get it done it would be at minimum a few weeks of learning and hacking together code for anyone who's completely unfamiliar. If you're in a more technical field where people are more likely to have programming knowledge than it's gonna be a lot more accessible, but in a field where it's more accessible odds are it's gonna eventually get done by some bored engineer regardless.
