Perhaps, but this isn't about non-developers or developers in general. This is targeting "full stack" developers, the overwhelming majority of which cannot write original software. If a tool provides a business the ability to replace a developer that cannot solve problems on their own, without some tech stack and colossal framework, it pays for itself immediately. That's why it is inevitable.

Usually a client or employer does not want write original software. I can code in C++/Rust/$LANGUAGE and am able to write you a high performance backend for some very specific, custom use case, but in 99% of the cases that isn't necessary because the underlying business is either 1) too generic or small to need something like this or 2) doesn't want the hassle of having to maintain something in-house.
Most companies that hire typical web/full stack devs value speed over anything else for the nth crud app they churn out. But I also don't see the value in these companies either.
