There always will be a developer, it might be some business person instead of dev but that will be an owner of some app. You don't want to create new application each time. Most of applications are there to be maintained.

You hire new accountant and what he does just throw away all records and build his own app from scratch?

Someone will create that honeycode thing and then he will be responsible for changes in that application.

In the end you have a maintainer on that app and lots will get lost in communication with him.

On the other hand you might have one off apps that are needed for specific task, but that is what excel is for. Reading about honeycode I see it is not about throwaway one off apps. So there will be someone who is "developer" who has to know details of honeycode and application he maintains and bunch of people with requests who don't bother learning what that honeycode thing is.
