There's an inherent difficulty in making difficult things easy. I think we're more likely to improve the ergonomics of writing software rather than make it easier for others to translate business logic into code.

I like to think that making software easier to write will just free up more capital to be spent on other software problems. I haven't seen many software projects where the client doesn't compromise features due to budget or time.

You're right, but "compromise features due to budget or time" happens in pretty much any industry. Take construction, everyone would like to have a larger house. And just to stick with construction, think of the salaries of the people involved, and why are they what they are. The person that makes the most in construction is the guy that trades the packaged MBSes because to even know what happens after you sign that mortgage document is not that easy to understand to the average Joe.
