Raycast has always been chasing being a business process automation tool, not an app launcher. They have team subscriptions, team-wide distribution of automations in the launcher, so it feels like team-wide custom apps to automate further business processes is a natural extension of this.
Whether that's what you want from Raycast as an individual user or not though is a fair question. I was a heavy user, but I recently switched back to Alfred. I love both, and there are things I think Raycast does much better than Alfred, but ultimately I'm not the target market for Raycast and I was feeling for a year or so that I was swimming upstream on my usage of it.
