Comment on Machines might not be able to reproduce themselves

The very first compiler was written by hand in assembler. Then the next version was compiled using the first one. Now when we come up with a language we first write a compiler in another language and then move to compiling new versions with their predecessors.
If machines had enough “connecting the dots” (doesn’t even have to be full AGI, IMO), why do you think those couldn’t build their next versions?
