If the software does the right thing for the person or organisation then it's time for the pros to come in and rewrite it all pretty and snappy.

Discovering of what software should do is like half of the development. I don't mind it being written by the people who are closer to the matter at hand.

I disagree, maybe they want it to do more but they don't know it is possible. Heck, I can code just fine but some problems I need to ask a proper software dev if they know the right algorithm/ datastructure,etc... to make it possible. And don't even get me started with security issues that arise when people are hard coding creds and screwing up permissions on prod data.
