If this looks preposterous, one way to see that it could be true is to look at which 80%. 80% of all types of software? No. 80% of the type of software you are

80% of all types of software? No. 80% of the type of software you are building? No.
Almost all of a new category of software that is only economical to create because such tools exist? Perhaps, yes.
Small simple tools, things only needed for a couple of months, things that used to be spreadsheets or physical whiteboards. Things that are useful, and better digitised, but nowhere near worth the cost of building as custom software.
All kinds of companies of all sizes are full of such things. The domain is massive. Arbitrary dates aside, I think it's clear the trend is correct - we will see a lot of growth in this category of software and the tools used to build them.
I'm working on such a tool at Stacker (YC S20). If you're intrigued by what I've said, we're hiring! email's in my profile :-)
