Does it handle responsiveness automatically? Accessibility? Download speed/size? Interactivity? Time to first render?
There's more here than you listed. It's a complex subject, and making one part of it easier by slapping a UI on it doesn't reduce the complexity.

Webflow actually helps with all those things. Webstudio doesn't have much yet accessibility features on canvas, because this comes next, but the performance - man it feels like a lifetime spent on optimizing it with the help of lots of different tools. we hit 100% on lighthouse score consistently, the webstudio.is landing is built with webstudio.

Namely, if you want to build a website then CSS layout is just the tip of the iceberg. If you write your own website you have to consider:
- HTML - CSS selectors - Deployment - Team collaboration (probably)
Using a visual website builder allows people to learn only a bit of CSS and have the rest taken care of.
