Most existing front-end frameworks are already low-code by any standards, I'd say.
Most backend, integrations, automations require some degree of business logic, which requires algorithmic thinking, and this in turns requires engineers - there aren't many people who 'think algorithmically' and can't code. Engineers, in turn, hate low code frameworks, as they are useless on the CV and annoying to work with for reasons mentioned by others here. Proprietary s*ht tech that always, inevitably, leads to custom code.
And, it's expensive. We had mulesoft, outsystems, boomi and replaced it all with general purpose stuff shaving approx. 9M/yr in license costs. We have lost no velocity, and the great thing about the alternative (in our case: simply standardizing the toolset and going with GCP 'serverless' stack) is that its super easy to find devs who will willingly work on that. That hasn't been our experience with the low code frameworks.
