I don't think that's the case, at least not completely. I worked with a low code product twenty years ago that was targeted at a narrow domain. In the right hands it was fantastic but it was useless as a crutch for people that couldn't even describe the problem they were trying to solve.

The people that excelled with it were programmers and others who clearly had the ability to write software. The people that struggled were the ones that couldn't decompose a problem into its constituent parts, that didn't have sufficient attention to detail.

It was a productive tool in the right hands, the only time we had problems were when it was mis-sold as a way to solve problems without needing problem solvers.
