None of these terms have widely accepted precise definitions, but there are plenty of platforms considered "low-code" that still require quite a bit of traditional programming. Outsystems, for example. Those that only offer formulas with no escape route to traditional programming, as you describe, are more commonly considered "no-code". This distinction from wikipedia is pretty accurate: "No-code platforms are accessible to any end-business user while low-code platforms require professional developers who can work within the platform's constraints."
