On a related note, there are hundreds of millions of knowledge workers around the world who don't want to write code but do want to automate repetitive calculations across various domains. Over the last decades, they have created many billions of spreadsheets that are now the blood vessels of the global economy. Most of these spreadsheets are bug-ridden, particularly around edge conditions. Nevertheless, the economic "blood" keeps flowing, routing around errors and inefficiencies, and I've never heard anyone claim that we'd have better productivity if random Joe couldn't create a spreadsheet, and had to instead wait for the budget for a programmer to write code for them to do that (even if we had programmers writing bug-free code).
