Interesting points raidicy, as an engineer I would have similar requirements and really don't like seeding control to third party products :) But then, a no-code almost non techie type, might just want to get something working

The balance between ease-of-use and functionality is a difficult beam. In my naive opinion, if you can create a platform where a no-code techie could create something but also let someone look under the hood, you will have built the perfect API creator. Right now the only analogue I've used is Strapi. However, this still takes deployment experience and at least a basic understanding of constructing dbs.

It's also worth looking at https://supabase.io/. Imo their route generation and automatic documentation is great and could be an inspiration.
