I guess you could call these "web builders" as in they build a web site without learning HTML or code.

But here's the downside. Eventually you need that ability to fix an issue or even to backup your site. There are thousands of posts where folk scream the host lost their site. It was never the site's responsibility to backup your site.

Yes and no.

Yes because folk can get a site going without knowing how it all works.
No because one day a small issue will pop up and they don't know how it all works.

Imagine they were doing thousands of sales a day and it just stops. Hopefully by then they learned enough to tackle the issue or have folk onboard that know how it works.
