This isn't happening anytime soon. I can comfortably agree with you No-Code platforms are an amazing and affordable way for small businesses to "go online", and a far better alternative than custom software development.
However, for any company that wants to scale into a medium to large sized business, or with requirements more advanced beyond a simple bare-bones website/marketplace/blog? Absolutely not. It's well known that any all-in-one easy-to-setup tool will have to sacrifice customizability (and thus, scalibility and flexibility). The same aplies to no-code platforms, and why they will never be taken seriously for medium or larger scale projects.
Go look at the clients for all those no-code-companies you mention, and try to find a single company on the scale of Facebook/Netflix that uses their platform for 90% of their code base. And this doesn't just apply to tech giants, the same will likely be true for general medium to large companies such as Walmart/Whirpool/Home Depot.
I always think that this holds because a visual interface only reduces complexity when a system is small and simple to oversee like a marketing site. When the company grows in scope a visual system will only making coding more complex, because there is simply too much to oversee in a node-diagram.
Added to that the fact that your no-code is also a highly complex system of code, it's obviously best to get down to the matter and fix things at the root instead of calling a vendor to fix your code for you everytime.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Short answer? No.
