I don't know if "software that doesn't require any tech skills to build" is realistic.
But a lot can be done, much faster, with much less expertise required, using modern "low code" tools.
Just a few examples from the OutSystems marketing materials(i can't vouch for them, but still):
------------------------------------
"Eighteen applications are already in productive use, some of which have hundreds of users.
The company has succeeded in its aim to make research scientists self-sufficient, so that they can build and deploy mobile apps for high-speed experiments, without clogging-up the central IT development team."

------------------------------------
"We don't even have a UI designer—we use templates that OutSystems provides." - for a consumer facing app.

"Using the platform proved so easy that three of the people who develop Allan Bros. mobile apps are actually warehouse employees, includ-ing a shipping clerk and a fruit sizing manager."

Now of course complex apps will require developers, but it will take much less time, and many apps aren't that complex.
