And before that it was high-level programming languages, or as we call them today, programming languages.

The 4GL was mostly reporting languages, as I remember. Useful ones, too. I still feel we haven't been even close to utilizing specialized programming languages and toolkits.

Put another way, I am certain that Unity has done more to get non-programmers to develop software than ChatGPT ever will.

I'd argue first prize for that goes to Excel (for a sufficiently broad definition of "develop software").
