... and our opinions about how badly this is going to pan out are based on decades of experience with how badly that panned out. Nobody that has ever had to maintain software is going to look at this and be impressed. Without a reproducible and predictable set of transforms from the source artifact to the product artifact(s), maintenance of software generated in this fashion will be impossible. The concept of a "localized" change doesn't exist; you have to assume that any and every change risks breaking the entire product. This is, of course, just another version of folks looking at something that mimics a (structured, evolved) human activity and assuming that it is in fact reproducing that activity, rather than just copying some subset of the visible consequences of that activtiy.
