I will be happy to use a no-code platforms that lets me eject out into a standard application. Otherwise, I'm just learning and depending on a proprietary system.

Once you need something slightly complex, no-code becomes non-trivial. It requires serious commitment to learn all the techniques the designers came up with.

So most people who use these tools use them for for simple or short-lived apps and side projects, which they could now use web frameworks, but just want to try something new, because they know it's trivial.

In 1978 GE was the largest by revenue. They made 54B in revenues ~13B in a quarter.

In 2022 Apple is the largest. They made 124B in a quarter.

Revenues are up 1000%

The larger the capital you manage, the the higher the compensation.

Btw, I am not justifying, just trying to understand what could lead to this.
