Ask HN: Why isn’t visual programming a bigger thing?

Visual programming seems to unlock a ton of value. Difficult concepts can more easily be grokked in a visual form. Programming becomes more approachable to first-timers. Since text is difficult to manipulate without a physical keyboard, visual programming opens the doors to doing development on mobile devices. And yet it only seems to be mainstream in education (i.e. Scratch). Why?
