As for why we don't see more things like graphical programming languages, I could draw a parallel to why you see many more people writing blog posts and books than you see people making videos or photo-essays.

Consider how many thousands of years humanity has been writing, compared to just decades of alternative media even existing, and it's easy to understand why our brains are adapted to prefer text-based media.
Fair enough, the idea of "information density" was discussed above and it makes sense that a flow chart carries less information per unit area of screen space than some equivalent Python code, for instance.
