I had built https://codeflow.co long ago - a workflow style integration platform (pre-AI). I could see less interest while showing the product to users in recent years as AI was catching up.
The sales demo that excited users - hey you can drag and drop and build stuff - which was pretty exciting few years ago - was seen as a burden by user (especially if they had to pay/license it) - they started asking why can't AI do it for me?
However n8n and other platforms embraced AI and AI automation was a thing for a while until the coding agents caught up. Now I believe drag and drop builders are not a buzz anymore where Claude has become a verb.
Being a visual person I do see value of debugging code "flowing" visually but not many are/were in the same boat. Since then I have pivoted to https://nexaflow.com - which is more like just tune the prompt and get your AI going instead of wrestling with the flow yourself - but I do feel a gap somewhere between the two spectrums - enterprises who would need high level of customization but wont believe in vibe code may be - but that could be a very tiny niche..
