I think this is the key to them actually being useful - generate a sane project in some widely used language under the hood, and let people give up on the low code solution when they outgrow the guardrails. Otherwise you're just dooming yourself to an eventual rewrite as soon as you need some feature that's not supported.

“Ejecting” is the key term here I think, or at least the one I’ve always used - for when you need to shed the handlebars for more control.

  "Escape Hatch" is also commonly used.

    Escape hatch feels like the lambda the author talks about. Ejecting is abandoning the generator and owning the code from that point on completely.
