A student his Micro-SaaS built with No-Code got acquired

Not to be cynical, as this is a student who built it, so props to them - that's probably a decent chunk of cash for them, and the experience of building and selling a product, even at such a micro-scale, could be life-changing to them. On the other hand, if you're an independent product engineer or similar, aiming at an effective hourly rate of $100 / hour (and it should probably higher, depending on where you live), and assuming a ~$5,000 exit, that leaves you with a ~50h budget for everything from development to marketing to break even...

I've checked a couple of other case studies in this website, and all of it is extremely small scale, and not clearly economical, for example:

https://www.nocode-exits.com/p/6-how-a-camp-marketplace-was-...

This starts with a Tweet where the founder envisions a 12-hour project, and by their own admission ends up being 2 months to an MVP without core functionality such as payments (sound familiar?)

After 1.5 years a larger competitor buys them for having carved out a geographical niche within the niche - in other words it gobbled up the users, but probably discarded the tech.

None of this sounds economically mind-blowing, does it?

A semi-competent Rails dev could have done this any with similar levels of input/cost. I'll concede that it's likely more time-consuming to become a "good enough" Rails dev than a "good enough" Bubble dev, and that could be factored into the cost equation (but on the other hand, the Rails dev probably has a higer ceiling in terms of tecnical capability and scalability?)

All I'm seeing here is how low-code is opening up possibilities for non-technical founders to build micro-businesses with micro-exits, maybe interesting in its own right but still very far from the revolution we've been promised.

I think no-code already has very interesting use cases in the enterprise space, for internal apps, but I am still to see a case for a client-facing business, built and scaled on no-code tooling. If you know some please do share.
