Which are two sides of the same coin, transformation of code <-> Diagram. The industry couldn't get the simple one of those (diagram -> code) to work well enough, how would they do the much more complex reverse? Architectural and even library nuances can't be easily quantified to a particular UML symbol unless you go through the effort of classifying it for every library/design pattern, and keeping that up to date as well.

Not really the same thing. With diagram generation, the code is still the source of truth. There would just be a way to automatically visualize it. With code generation, you would program by diagramming up front and then the code would be generated from that.
