Absolutely agree! I’ve seen the same thing happen. The idea that “power users” will manage workflows sounds great on paper, but in reality, it always falls back on developers. And once things get even slightly complex, I end up writing custom scripts anyway because the visual tools just can’t handle it cleanly.

At that point, you’re stuck using a tool that’s harder to debug, test, or version and still coding on the side. Totally with you on this being an anti-pattern in most serious use cases.
