This is the perfect metaphor and the one I use.
Just because we can build a Ferrari doesn't mean that a Ferrari is efficient in all situations.
We have race tracks (smooth, evenly surfaced roads), highways (generally smooth roads over long distances), city streets (some potholes), gravel roads, dirt roads, and no-roads.
A tank isn't great for a race track. And a Ferrari isn't great for no-road.
The author muddles up the question to make their point.
What they're really saying is "no-code tools aren't a good fit for general purpose coding" (for all the reasons mentioned).
Which seems fair and accurate. But all coding is not general purpose coding.
