I think the general problem with "No code" as you describe it is that if you want to only offer the lego building blocks then you can't support corner cases. If you want to eliminate all of the corner cases you often times end up creating something as complicated as code but without the nice tooling or information density.

Or, as happens a lot in no/low code but also in code-heavy (normal) development is that this 'corner case' feature is just taken out of scope. That eliminates it too as well as a technical solution does.

Basically; you can run a rather medium sized company on google docs or ms office or a bunch of trivial crud apps hacked in php/AD; I know rather a scary amount of companies that do work like that. They are not the biggest companies (I know of at least one that has well over 150m revenue/year for the past 20 years; most others are smaller) but they also spend almost nothing on (that kind of) IT and it works. The corner cases are removed from the business process instead of hacked into the IT flow.
