Well, no code and low code solutions are in practice more code. You use a tool, that is supposed to solve a trivial or a simple problem, and it works great until the first change requests come. With the second or third change request, the complexity is already so big, that no code is not a solution any more. But then, you have sunken costs, and no approval to rewrite. So, you keep adding a workaround around a workaround and another layer of patching or complexity, until a few years later you finally get an approval to ditch the no-code tool and rewrite using an actual code.
In the end, cost and effort is much higher, than as if it were implemented properly in code from the beginning. You write a lesson learned, discuss it with the team and management, get an agreement to do it right the next time.
Then, a week later, a new project starts, you want to do it in code, but get overridden because it's a perfect use case for this great low code or no code tool you are using.
