For example, I too have my concerns regarding natural language search replacing filters, because they can help with discovery and surfacing options users were not even aware existed.
But, it’s about memory. I work in enterprise UX, and a lot of our advanced search filters contain options users don’t remember in detail, but sometimes need.

A user once said “I don’t remember exactly what it’s called, but when I need it, I know where I can find it”. So, for complex systems with many options, filters act as recall tools, which is easier than having to remember all the options. We are building both: natural search for the quick and easy, but keeping the advanced filters, for those deep dive into the database.
