Test suites just increased in value by a lot and code decreased in value.

Doubt it, code will be generated to pass tests, not the intent behind the tests.

A million times, this. Sometimes they luck into the intent, but much more frequently they end up in a ball of mud that just happens to pass the tests.

"8 unit tests? Great, I'll code up 8 branches so all your tests pass!" Of course that neglects the fact that there's now actually 2^8 paths through your code.
