Will Low-Code development tools commercially profitable? https://dev.to/taowen/will-low-code-development-tools-commercially-profitable-34ib

@taowen On the point on lock-in, ownership...: I don't think the problem is actually ownership or control (with a few regulatory exceptions in certain industries), it's more about trust. the owernship/control/lock-in issue (as real as it is) is something that can be overcome. It's just a hard, long game of building trust which requires time, money and hard work. I recall a lot more jokes and complaints from backend devs about how silly of an idea Heroku was (at launch) and that they wouldn't concede control for such little value. A few years of building a brand, trust and filling in the missing features and I now see the same backend devs opting for Heroku on projects left and right, with no concerns around control.

The issue is always trust. Once upon a time, we trusted Google to allow chrome to dominate the browser market, see what the trust leads to us. Private owned company gaining monopoly on public infrastructure is dangerous.
