But there is absolutely nothing in the manufacturing world that would ever require millions of lines of code. There's a big difference between software development, which they are not doing, and coding, which these no-code solutions seek to help them with.

For reference, I'm currently dealing with a customer whose most complex machine (which automates a job that used to take two people per shift) runs on 128 lines of code.

Let them think that. As the GP poster said, it is unlikely they will ever be asked to work on a bigger program.
