IMO it is perfectly possible for a person to be as good as a programmer at problem solving, and thinking abstractly about user-facing solutions and workflows (maybe even some non-user-facing) and yet have no interest at all in learning a text-based programming language. The whole premise of coding originated a million years ago, when it was mandatory to think in terms of a processor executing an instruction sequence, and operating systems and compilers needed to be written. Is it really the best way to make an app? I think plenty of apps are amenable to thinking about in terms of visual design elements, triggers, events, actions that act on other things that expose endpoints, etc. Like all things, I don't know whether anyone has done a great job devising a no-code system yet. It's not my bag. But I maintain it's possible to do a great job in principle. I used to work on niche low-code systems that still required some coding in a very simplistic language. We had hundreds of salespeople who were absolutely not programmers and had zero knowledge of CS, but were all out in the field rigging up all manner of customized UIs and integrations for the customers. I don't recall them complaining or saying it was too hard.
