It doesn't? Shameless plug, I build a visual programming tool for UI design (https://www.ux-app.com/static/learn-actions-and-events.html https://www.ux-app.com/static/learn-actions-and-events.html).
It's great for a huge subset of people for whom coding is tangential to their job. Product managers, designers etc.
It's not ideal for a programmer because it's not as dense as the textual representation and once you've developed that muscle memory, typing your code is a lot quicker, but increasingly, there are a lot more people coding now who are not career programmers. For these people visual programming is great since it's less intimidating and reduces the possibility of syntax errors.
