Well, forget for a moment everything you know about webpages and now you want a form where the user can create an account. The sales person tells you that the user has entered the data for us, so it just needs to be sent with a request to the backend, which always looks the same. And then it just needs to be put into a INSERT INTO, which also always looks the same.
All of that stuff can clearly be auto-generated by the framework. And 70% of the ~~boilerplate~~ code does exactly that, so that obviously means 70% of the workload of your devs disappears, which means you can get rid of 70% of your developers.

It just makes it really easy to scam people, when they don't know the technical side...
