Low-code/no-code is simply the CASE tools of the late 80s, or the UML->production system fully automated pipeline of the late 90s/early 2000s, given new life and a shiny coat of paint. The same problems apply and the same people keep buying the same damn snake oil.

Once you can specify your procedures, requirements, and constraints in a way that is specific enough for a computer to read and act meaningfully on, the elements of your specification method become isomorphic to constructs in some programming language. So you've replaced typed-in keywords with clickable symbols or buttons or controls -- but you've in no wise reduced the headwork of programming or made the programming go away.
