Why is design-to-code not working?

Question

I&rsquo;ve come across several products that automatically convert Figma designs into code. From what I see, they do a good job of generating React components and CSS from Figma designs.It seems to be that these should be the standard way to make frontends, but it is not. Why is that? Am I missing something?Example: Anima.app

In my experience, it's the logic & data flow that is not handled, and the more complicated part of frontend development. Layout & design just a part of it. The best solution in my mind is something that is bi-directional, so that code can be synced and operational in the design tool
