It remains to see whether low code is truly a paradigm shift or another option.

Frankly I don't think it is completely snake oil, but it has been grossly oversold.

One issue is that a lot of the licensing out there is either costly or has other limitations that you can never quite work around, without having to write code anyway, if you even -can-.

Many of these vendors also have slightly different licensing options compared to the competition, which means there's likely to be fragmentation based on business size/segment.

Microsoft's solution is likely to be the most widely deployed, since IIRC their Office 365 licensing either included it for free or it was an inconsequential upcharge.

Much of the Buzz that I saw about No Code in the last few years was almost certainly a result of marketing efforts. When one employer went shopping for a solution, the sales/demo pitches we got as a potential customer felt like much of the content was dual-use for investors.

But here's the reality; a lot of businesses don't want to deal with access control/provisioning/support costs, so a lot of the time organizations buy solutions but still only allow the developers/BAs access to them.
