I believe we, as an industry, are driving towards frameworks that can be operated with story-like analogies describing what needs to be done with no technology knowledge at all. The core computer scientists creating such a framework create it with entry level non-developers as the "end-users" in mind. Such a framework is the holy grail of software development because it will enable any Joe with any software idea to hire anyones to make "their dream". The "no code" movement is an early manifestation of this trend. BTW, the VFX world is ahead in this tread, creating production frameworks requiring no 3D graphics technical knowledge at all...
This works great in many scenarios. But when the time comes to complete a task that the lossy abstraction that is the framework doesn't facilitate, Joe hits a wall very fast. He then needs to either unravel the abstraction, find another one or say it can't be done.
This is where the hold grail really pays off: those Any Joes that are deeply financially committed must hire real Computer Scientists to implement their non-standard needs. Of course, those real Computer Scientists work for the framework provider Corporation, and their expense is high enough that Any Joe is forced to give up equity for their non-standard feature. It is a operational maze designed to financially and mentally exhaust the new entrepreneur so they can be assumed and taken over by the status quo of existing deep pockets. Unless you've been asleep, this is exactly how SAP grew and continues to expand.
