It's nice but I've yet to see a more usable end-user programming environment than the spreadsheet.

Or learning to actually code. I can't see why I would ever learn to use these kinds of tools.

As a developer, I can just make it myself. Now with LLMs, if it's very simple and bounded, I can just vibe most of it with very little to lose.

As a lay person, I don't see what the TAM for this is. Who will spend the time to learn how to drag and drop an application?

No tests, no version control, no library support. Pass for me.

You're making the argument that end-user programming must have the same priorities as professional software development.

For an implementation which pushes that to the extreme see:
