I'd suggest that they do exist. There are plenty of no/low-code tools out there, and more growing all the time.
Also, engineering teams at large corps are typically not just sitting around vomiting out front-end code. Sure, that work does take some time... but the bulk of the job is making sure we're building the right tools for the business, that they keep running and providing value, and get updates as the business evolves. The number of hours spent to build an initial UI is not actually the bulk of the effort over the lifetime of an app.
