Perhaps I used the wrong term. I really meant for those who are more operationally focused than development. IE you don't need to write code to get a nice Drupal website. I think it's always been the case that if you wanted to get it up in the first place, you needed to know a bit about MySQL, Apache config, and potentially PHP config. Again I haven't touched Drupal in a long time, but sounds like some of those were replaced with newer technologies like Docker, which are still more operationally focused.
