> we need to make coding more enjoyable and figure out ways to make it more interactive.

Honestly, this isn't the reason. The reason for the nocode movement is that businesses are sick of constantly trying to find technology talent for big salaries, and want to DIY. I cast no judgement on whether that's going to be a disaster or not, or for whom.

Business cost savings are a huge pull factor, for sure (if you counted all the Excel spreadsheet "apps" as software, some old school companies would be in the top 100 apps by usage, easy :)

I also wouldn't underestimate the push factor from the creative folks who are technical enough to "read" code / reason in abstract patterns, but can't write it. Fun definitely comes into that, as does a learning curve that's very shallow and near-infinite.
