no of course not. But many are built in the same way.

The only reason these tutorials are built as 'clones' is to show the features for others to tweak for their own.

I think that's the point of the article - the moment you try to "tweak" a clone/"codeless"/"softwareless" tool with customizations, you end up writing code, hiring developers, and eventually scrapping and rewriting the said clone.
