One of the few downsides of living in a capitalist system, it's all about the profits.
But I don't know if No Code / Low Code will reduce the quality of developers.
For example, driving the Ford Model T was insanely difficult compared to driving modern vehicles (even with stick).
But are all current drivers worse because of that?
Making a car that is easier to drive allowed drivers to focus on more essential things.
Going back to No Code / Low Code, I feel we wouldn't have reached this point so fast if Software Development didn't overcomplicate itself in the last 10 years, this person on Reddit said it well:
Yeah - totally agree with you about the last 10 years. I've watched it unfold - aghast.
It does feel like a lot of the recent interest in "no code" is somewhat of a reaction to this problem, rather than any kind of attempt at a solution - as some of these no-code platforms are probably built upon the very foundations and complications they purport to want to fix - adding yet another layer of complexity - sweeping the problem under the carpet rather than addressing it head on

I agree with your point of view.
If modern web development was as simple as jQuery, maybe the Low Code / No Code alternatives for creating web apps wouldn't have been so popular.
