Maybe the problem when I was searching was that actually MS Access is a narrow tool (centered around the database), whereas platforms that replaced it (RAD for mobile/web) offer a wider range of features, so searching for an "MS Access replacement" is searching with the wrong keyword given how these tools have evolved.

Still if I look at your site (Mendix) and my mindset is "I just want a few tables and a few simple forms", my guess is that if I were a non-developer I could be a bit overwhelmed. But as you say Mendix targets large companies.
