IMO, Zapier is a little different because it's connecting disparate APIs.

Ah yes true. My point was really that any tool can generate complexity, it's all about the underlying problem you're trying to solve.
Yeah, I think Zapier is one of if not the only example I've come across in my software dev career of a low-code-type tool that devs will reach for before doing stuff by hand.

Great example of where low-code is a better alternative for a very narrow use case of development.
