I think the main advantage of low-code is to enable more people to develop. I personally only have experience with Mendix, so taking that one as example.
Having an ui to configure screens and some logic enables non tech people to do part of the changes needed. All while with high code you can include anything you like quite easily.
Personally I always kept an open mind towards low code and no code. But I know a lot of high code developers are thinking it's rubbish, without properly giving it a try once. I think that's a shame. And of course not any piece of software makes sense as low code, but I see that similar as that there is no programming language that's good for all software programs.

That's an excellent point.

Yes, the main advantage of No Code / Low Code is the Democratization.

It was never fair that only folks with tons of money or coding skills could launch an internet startup.

As for your point about developers, I get that.

I also know Java developers who claim that Java is the best language, but they don't know any other languages.

But most developers are awesome and really nice.
