The problem with Low Code is that it isn't No-Code.
If I have some problem that I can just jam into IFTTT and leave it forever, I will do that and be very happy.
If I then need to do something that requires changing the setup, I am coding. Suddenly I have to think about the requirements developing in the future, where to keep the repo, how to deploy it, how to change dependencies, having someone look after it.
The lie in low-code is that the first thing is like the second thing. If you aren't a dev, I can sell you a thing pretending it's the first thing, and then you are stuck with all the issues when it morphs into the second.
Excel is perhaps the best example of this. You think you don't need to understand coding, because how hard is it to wire up some cells? Time passes and you have a bunch of VBA scripts and DLLs hooked up to buttons on your spreadsheet, and it turns out things were a lot more complicated than you thought.
