One other thing that is often ignored: Most of the business class, executive class, ... even working class, DON'T want to write code.

The reasons vary, but in general, just as some people don't want to touch maths (even if they might be good at it if they tried), some people loathe the very idea of being technical, either because they think it is beneath them, or they just don't see themselves that way.

And like the article explains, even when "programming" tools seem to become simpler to use, they still require technical specification, and once people feel like they are getting close to "programming" they check out.

Most people don’t avoid programming because it’s too hard. They avoid it because they don’t identify as technical. Just like math many people who could be decent at it still recoil from it. It’s not capability, it’s identity and preference. Humans aren’t fundamentally logical thinkers, we’re storytelling creatures who occasionally use logic to justify what we already feel.

But this is exactly what my comment is saying? Not sure what you added that was not already in my comment, you are agreeing with me.
