Regarding code generation from design, this space is more or less as old as designing webpages itself. Even early versions of Adobe Photoshop already included the slice functionality which you could then export as HTML. This part has always been reasonably easy. The real problem is how do you keep your changing design in sync with your changing code and I'm yet to see anyone solve that problem well.

Another problem with code generation is that maybe you want React code, I want static html, someone else wants Vue.js code, etc. There isn't a single standard target that everyone agrees on and the frontend landscape change so frequently that it would be hard to keep up.

A lot of times you also have a page template framework in your app with a reusable header, footer, etc, and are really just designing the content of a page. It's difficult for generated code to slip cleanly in to an existing page framework in a way that doesn't take more time to rework than to just write yourself.

I'm not saying these are unsolvable problems, but it just makes it hard for a code generation product like this to find a single big enough addressable market to be exciting.
