All you've said is 100% true, but in addition I'd argue that a big part of reason why no-code tools don't get more traction is also just the simple power of habit and the lack of motivation to invest time into learning it. We already know how to build things the traditional way, and all these no-code solutions require learning a lot of new, proprietary interfaces and stuff, playing with it and figuring it out, learning to work around the limitations. Many other tools and frameworks that we choose to use have similar, probably even worse problems, but they're popular so one feels like it's worth the trouble to learn them - just to stay in the game. No code tools on the other hand are proprietary, not very popular and the benefits they give you are just not that significant to a seasoned programmer. In all honesty, I never even gave them a chance.
