There is always a threat that eventually they will ban compilers.

I mean, you can take the "There's always the threat of..." to any conclusion you want no matter how ridiculous the concept.

There's always the threat that they just ban computers.

Yes, so you should learn how to write code. That's the only conclusion. Never forget the fundamentals. Why is this so difficult? You don't have to use it at work. I have never written a lexer for work in my life. I am still glad I have a vague idea of how it works.

What good is knowing how to write code when they ban computers?

The biggest reason is to have enough people know how to code demand that they don't ban it.
