Because it is exactly what their target customer base wants to hear. A non-technical person with an idea doesn't want to go into debt or give up significant ownership of their company just to see if their product idea is worth anything. I agree that when this type of sentiment crosses over into an "us vs them" (non-tech vs tech) mentality it's problematic. Having a confrontational mindset towards any integral part of a business is a recipe for disaster. However, if you look in the Bubble forums you'll see there are a number of posts reaching out for a cofounder/technical person or advising to find a technical cofounder when scaling becomes a reality (successful proof of concept). Personally, I find products like Bubble to be a great opportunity to reduce risk in the startup phase for all parties involved. New ideas can be tested in the wild for a lot less time and money. After a market has been shown to exist then a focus on scaling and technical architecture can happen. It's also easier to attract a talented CTO when you can prove that a market for the product exists. https://bubble.io/blog/about-bubble/ https://bubble.io/blog/about-bubble/
