Two things:

  1. These tools are popular because too many startups are churning out very similar, unoriginal apps - for which these tools are perfect.

  2. The market is already flooded with these apps - pretty soon, it will be so saturated that users are likely to stop caring about new apps at all.

I'm actually surprised we didn't get there already, the way to market works - it's a wonder users haven't seen through this yet, but the large majority of new apps are just clones of one or more existing apps, maybe tailored for a niche, if even that, and then you top it off with an expensive marketing campaign.

Well, now they can spend almost nothing developing their useless products and invest everything in marketing instead. How long before users wake up and smell the coffee? 🤔

You’re right! Because of simplicity almost everybody can’t do their own startups, however, after they did it they will learn from it
