I wondered about this as well, but could also imagine AI tools (perhaps at the application layer and not root-LLM layer) helping to mitigate this - that's a world I've been exploring.
Don't think we're there yet, but it feels like there's a future dream of everyone being able to build and maintain custom software with AI, and not having to make the tradeoff of creativity vs. components that's historically been true with low/no code.
That said, where we are today, completely agree with what you're saying. LLMs like to generate code, and in my experience are pretty bad at iterating on or maintaining the prolific code they've created.
