This is purely my opinion from the perspective of a developer/engineer who has seen my solutions removed with little understanding for the engineering and people consequences in an organisation.
The issue with nocode SaaS products is the misconception given to non technical people about what is replaceable.
Often a good business decision does not equal a good engineering decision and the management structures in place don't allow for this type of discussion to take place. This is where developers and engineers are beat out by "it's better for the business" as a decision.
Often executive managers who have moved away from technical work and are very far removed from deep (as opposed to wide) engineering knowledge, this can promote animosity between management and engineering.
Again this is purely a view/opinion from my own experience.
The organisation needs to understand:
1) What are the needs we are fulfilling
2) Are we building up engineering where we need it
When question 2 is disregarded when engineering built solutions are discarded this leads to the degredation of engineering "credit" in an organisation.
