I don't deny that there's utility in what you are describing: if you can make it work for you that's fantastic. However:
- if you can ship software like that given the current state of the technology, you are probably not the average non-tech worker in a non-tech industry. There are people paying exorbitant consulting rates for dashboards in PowerBI. LLMs in mid 2025 are orders of magnitude more operationally complex than anything most people have seen.
- "citizen developers" doing something to scratch their own itches sounds very much like how a professional software project starts. Suddenly the scope grows and you need a nerd to handle it. Then two. Then four. You get the idea. Maybe that won't be the case for your specific needs, but that's how it generally goes.
Weak or strong is a matter of framing, but that's why I see them as tools and not gods.
