Yes it has made an impact. As all new technology does. But there are just as many people trying and failing to do good DIY so it works out that you now get to rip out work that was done badly.
I would say marketing products to the home owner has probably increased the wasting of good material while people learn that they aren't really very good at the stuff we do every day, yet people must learn, even if it is to discover they are incompetent and need to call a professional next time.
We had a local builder that used every cheap product and sub par laborers he could find to amass millions of dollars. Now his homes generate repair work in the millions. His methodology was much like the DIY-ers and created more work for years to come for us in remodeling.:clap:
