Funny enough, when I saw a demo for this, it was by a programmer, and that was one of his main task at his job. I had the same impression, but he actually made a quite sound argument for it. He wasn't a machine learning expert (yet) and it allowed him and his team to quickly construct models and see what the best fit was. He was quite efficient at using it, and showed us how to build and run models in under an hour. There was no code they had to maintain which was ultimately a lot less work for them.
