Is this the end of - or at least a significant challenge to - SaaS?

Why buy into saas tooling if you can just slap something together - that you fully own - with something like this?

Challenge, yes, but I wouldn't go far to say "end of".

B2C SaaS will have more challenge the easier it gets to create things, but consumers have always been fickle anyway.

I'd say B2B SaaS is mostly safe, partially because they want the support and don't want to have to maintain it.

Today we have open-source versions of a lot of SaaS products, but the proprietary ones are still in business, mostly for that reason IME.

you can swing it anyway you want - another reason we use spreadsheets, or another reason we don't use airtable, or CRM #37....

all systems require support and upkeep... nobody wants to do it.
