Netflix's interface isn't complicated. Surely some codeless platform is capable of something similar.
The technically hard part is the infrastructure to unicast millions of videos at a time, but that's now available from several cloud providers.
The really hard part isn't technical, it's content. Disney might be able to build the next Netflix with a codeless interface to videos on the cloud, but a high school student wouldn't.

You can be super inefficient if your product is unique and has a big enough market, and that's precisely what these models are good for. Once you've proven the idea, perhaps it's time to hire a team to optimize, but until then, you can focus on the rest of the business.
