The same thing happened in shipping, getting rid of the radio officers, which unlike aviation is also compounded by very lax regulation.
Modern ships are filled with fancy electronics, and it's usually poorly designed with broken software, that few know fully how to operate and nobody knows how to fix. This problem is only going to increase as they rely more and more on automation, and it's not going to stop until there is an accident severe enough to prompt aviation-style regulation and safety methodology.
