The answer is pretty obvious why though... CEOs look at devs making 6-digit salaries, screwing around with Node.js modules all day long on an endless trendmill/treadmill of "upgrades", new frameworks, UI rewrites while absolutely adding 0 new value. At the end of the day, all the website needed to do was take orders... which it did back in 1998, but now it's a million times more expensive. As much as a turd nugget as Larry Ellison of Oracle is, he absolutely nailed it when he said "The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women’s fashion." If a technology comes along that promises to offboard an enterprise from the endless hype train, it's a pretty easy to see why many would jump for it. That being said, I agree with the premise: no code solutions just shift the complexity elsewhere; code solutions are the right answer, but an entire generation of programmers was never taught to build things that last.
