> many of the existing frameworks be described as low-code wrappers around more complex work flows and concepts

Using frameworks, you are still using the language itself to command the frameworks. For example, if someone claims oneself as a React programmer, nobody would assume that someone didn't know Javascript.

So to efficiently use one framework, you should master both the language + framework. In other words, the complexity not only remains, but also accumulates.

But this is contradictory to low/no code's selling point, as they are targeting non-programmers.

This only goes so far, though, with frameworks. In my experience, the vast majority of people that make claims about a particular framework do not understand the abstractions they are building upon. In fact it is sufficiently reliable that I have found this to be an excellent hiring signal, to probe how well a person understands the abstractions in frameworks they use, but also to probe how they diagnose and fix holes in their own knowledge.
