I've heard it said that Excel is the world's most popular IDE.
Given what I have seen of some spreadsheets, I am quite glad we don't push those people into programming who aren't interested in doing so.

As someone with experience supporting these types of people utilizing a no code platform, most of them actually thrive when given a toolset that is appropriate for the problem they are trying to solve.
The vast majority of the Excel/Access mess stems from the fact that those are the only tools people have access to use. Solutions get wedged in and people get into the weeds because if they can't make it work somehow they don't get a solution.
They build way more functional/sane things when given the right toolset to solve the problem.
