You can also plot a middle path. JavaFX Scene Builder for example supports CSS, style sheets and custom themes, but also supports visual design and layout. However people with a graphics design background would still need to learn a bit of UI design like how to make responsive layouts, and they wouldn't be able to use Figma anymore. Animation also isn't that well supported. Still it can be done, it's mostly a case of investment. The Jetpack Compose guys are trying to do it the other way around - generate layout code from Figma files.
