We, as programmers, are called in to solve the "complex use-cases." So we tend to divide the world into "things that need a novel program written for them" and "trivial problems."

You know what else has a visual interface? Excel. It works great! For "trivial problems." It gets stretched all the time into places where programming would have been faster, but for the "trivial problems", just being able to have a domain-expert non-programmer use Excel to implement the solution directly, is a lot faster and simpler than calling in a programmer and attempting to fully specify the problem to them.
