The interesting aspect is: that allows people who couldn't do it before to build tools for their department needs. Where in the past they would have needed a budget for going to the IT department and then do complex processes to transfer the requirements from business needs into a form the developers understand.
Now they can quickly build simple tools. Yes, they are bad from software quality pov, but they solve problems.

Simple tools can make big mistakes.
I've done it. It was an outlier case. A small mistake of logic giving out money already paid once in a neglected corner (so to speak) of the logic tree. One bad script can overshadow tens of good ones.
