Low code doesn't help at all? It's still code.
> Low code allows "less" sunken cost when the inevitable misalignment of requirements happen.
Sunken cost is about investment already incurred that can't be recovered. It's very likely that low code increases software sunk cost problems.
If you use low code as a prototype thing to throw away, that's almost a complete waste of investment.
Wrong low code often is much harder to programmatically test for correctness and debug, so you often need a larger investment to fix it.
