I work with pedagogies, teach, write curricula, coach, manage, mentor, consult, speak publicly, polemicize, and sometimes work as a full-stack web developer, architect, ontologist, and more.
Key word: potentially. I, too, would love to see low-code solutions take a lot of the drudgery, copy-and-paste, code monkey work out of development. But I suspect that It will just be used to avoid hiring smart devs.
I don't think that there is a low-code tool (or that there will be) that can do justice to an application of any complexity in the hands of a layperson. For the tools to work well, they will need to be wielded by developers, designers, architects, and UX folks. The point should not be that "anyone can make an enterprise app", but that, as you say, coders are freed of the boring drudge work.
From what I've seen so far, enterprise companies don't get it at all. Not optimistic.
But I do believe that low-code can be a boon, so I have a side project (moving very slowly, sadly) to build a low-code app that uses ontologies to describe the business domain and the desired design system and then buiids an app from scratch based on that. I'll probably never get it to beta, and if I do, no one will ever use it, but a man can dream...
One of the big, big lies of consumer capitalism is that technology will make us so productive that we'll all only need to work a few hours a week to make a living, and that the work will be life-enhancing, creative work rather than soul-deadening drudgery.

Hehe, link ...? ^_^
Yeah. How's that working out?
Well, I certainly don't work only a couple of hours per week, but both me and you have jobs that would be impossible only some few hundred years ago, at which point we'd probably end up slaving on fields picking potatoes for some noble man instead of the work we're actually doing today. So I have to disagree on this one, although you do make a couple of valid points.

You should check out our stuff - It's still in beta, but we're going GA release tomorrow in fact :)

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
