It creates work for already-overworked IT departments.
Think about the sales pitch of low code: Now your marketers and business people can put together solutions to automate business processes, without writing a single line of code (or while writing very few lines of code)!
Except yeah, weeks or months in, those solutions have to be maintained as the business shifts. Sales, marketing, and executives have better things to do than maintain a bunch of instructions for the computer. How will we handle this? Oh, I know! Let's throw it over the wall to the people who specialize in this sort of thing: the software engineers! I'm sure they won't mind prioritizing maintaining the automation we built in $LOW_CODE_PLATFORM over the backlog of other things they have to do.
What are you asking? Where are the debugging tools? Low-code is supposed to have no bugs, what do you need debugging tools for?
Version control? Pffffffff.
Oh, and while you're at it could you integrate the $LOW_CODE_PLATFORM stuff with our mainframe? The source of all truth for customer records is still in the mainframe and--you need to write an extension module to do that? In Java?
