I'd argue we're there anyway with all kinds of non-programmers using languages like Python to achieve their goals.

On one hand, it results in some absolutely horrendous code that takes 100x longer to run than necessary, because it lacks the most basic principles of engineering. On the other hand....it works and does what is asked of it.

Exactly! It might be a "dangerous fallacy" (?) but people will still do it and you can't stop them.
