I would not take GP's word as general sentiments in DevOps. We have plenty of automation and "low-code" if you look at it right. That's really the name of the game. It's mostly scripting and config, while tools are programmed. DevOps is also a hard space to build a product in. Lots of competition, especially with open source, but also everyone's setup and needs are a little different.

Can you mention any examples? I'm keen to know. I personally don't use any such tools. I also agree that building any products in the DevOps space where many people are passionate about their DIY solutions is usually not a good idea.
