Sure. Oracle APEX is popular. You never hear about it on HN because the target user base for low code stuff doesn't overlap with the HN set much, but it's huge.

In that IDC survey it's the most popular low code product, over 2 million apps and half a million developers.
There's a SaaS version at apex.oracle.com with a free tier if you want to try it, and you can self-host it as well.
That’s what I’m looking for - low code environments for making quick applications that aren’t sexy, but that are genuinely helpful for a non-technical business. Thanks!
From that link, it seems that Salesforce and Microsoft also have offerings. That doesn’t surprise me at all. I’ve seen a bit of MS PowerApps, but generally discounted it as I thought that app should have been a proper DB. Now I’m thinking that I may have been a bit hasty.
