I believe everyone has a different need and expectation from a website, generally speaking the person using a DIY website builder is primarily the hobby blogger, the small low budget business or the "tight" business owner that thinks my quotation is overpriced, these people will generally utilise "Pre-built" templates to build out their sites.
In my mind this is where things go wrong for them.
The ideology of a website should ALWAYS be content 1st, so a client gives you the content and as a designer you build the website around the content and display it with a methodical process using design principles to display that content.
Pre built themes on the other hand give you boxes to fill out, that are probably not the best approach as although every business is different, they are lumping you all together and then consequently your on-line business is not really any different to anyone else's in the same sector that has used the same theme ?

At the end of the day I do not believe "No-Code" will overtake coding, there will always be a place for content designed approach.
