This is important, and it's probably the main reason I like using them so much. But then surely the comeback is that what I'm then attempting to do is produce a diagram in code, when I could just write the diagram on paper, check it, then write some (possibly simpler) code. Not in all cases, naturally, but often?

Yeah, I think you articulated that better than a lot of us here. That, in a sense, your diagram becomes your psuedo-code, or even further, your actual implementation.
My initial defensive impulse to this topic was mostly to take a stand against frontend code that is becoming increasingly obtuse over the years.
