There are lots of tools that give a wrong solution that appears correct, and easier ones tend to do that the most.
Plenty of people who needed a real dev team to design an application probably hoped on Dreamweaver, were suddenly able to bumble their way some interface that looked impressive but would never scale (even to the original goal level of scale mind you).

Any time you have a tool that lowers the barrier of entry to a field, you get a spectrum of people from those who have right-sized expectations and can suddenly do the thing themselves, to people who massively overestimate how easy the field is to master and get in over their heads.
This isn't even a programming thing, off the top of my head Sharkbites get this kind of rep in plumbling
You could argue the RPi did this to hardware, where people are using a Linux SBC to do the job a 555 timer could do and saying that's hardware.
Point-and-shoot, then smartphone cameras, did this and now a lot more people think they can be a photographer based on shots their phone spends more processing power per image than we used to get to the moon on.
