I live in the city where their hq is. Here they're colloquially called "the source code mill" or "the source code factory". As in, they take in junior cs students and mill out source code.

A lot of people like working for them because they do take almost anybody and don't have high standards. You could call it the "bullshit job" of CS.

Sounds like a lot of companies :) But yes, the target audience for the components is probably the not very technical CTO (company wide or departmental) who believes that this will save a lot of money because stuff can be bought and not built. It'll end up as a few 100(0) developer licenses on a shelf, next to the 20 enterprise CMS licenses, the unused CRM licenses, the magic bullet never touched BI licenses etc.
