I spent about half an hour poking around Microsoft's documentation for PowerApps and then their Youtube channel trying to find a concise demonstration of the tool, and it was all totally impenetrable. Everything was either too high-level- speaking aspirationally about the potential business value without really showing anything being made or used- or too low-level, off in the weeds tutorializing a very specific esoteric integration with a bunch of other tools, writing reams of backend code in some other language and environment.
I feel confident in my evaluation that PowerApps is in a completely different universe of accessibility and complexity from Hypercard.
