Boomers who think that coding consists of C++ and HTML/CSS but don't know anything else about computers. They think programming languages are really easy to learn and that anyone can become a savant when in reality you need a special mind to code effectively.
Their view of computers is exceptionally dated and that prompts them to hold firm to what they know.
>you spend all day on that computer anyway This is what makes them think programming is a good avenue.
Middle management like

You can go on Fiver right now and get some poojeet to write you up a script or write a line of code. On top of that if you have any kind of infrastructure team they'll just use an AI to write their base code for them (I've done this myself for powershell scripts) and programmers won't be as in high of demand.
Not everyone can code but if you're using a computer every day and can build your own then you should just get into IT. Hardware and infrastructure are a lot easier to teach.
