But any good plumber would never use it and I can't imagine it is to code anywhere.
Why?

I've seen multiple home inspections flag this as something to replace immediately.

I believe it. Home inspectors usually aren't worth a bucket of warm spit and are on the hunt to fill out a report with the least amount of work and knowledge possible. cracked outlet covers and suspect p-traps are their bread and butter.
I wouldn't install one of the flex drain lines in my own home because they look leak and stoppage prone. But they probably will work for several years and could save a homeowner a $100 in a plumber. Just as long as you're vigilant about checking for leaks then I don't care how the dirty water ends up in the sewer.
Battery powered water alarms are readily available and cheap. I recommend them under any sink. The difference in one day of dripping vs 2 weeks of dripping can be huge.

Why would I make that up? Like I said I'm not a plumber, I don't know the code. I'm just trying to help you out. Doing it right is just a little bit harder for a lot better end product.
Link to a home inspector on flex pipe and code
"Flexible pipes are not code compliant because they collect dirt and grime that's supposed to flow down the drain. The zigzag sides make it easy for water slow-down, which results in more gunk collecting further along toward your home’s plumbing system. Code requires smooth drain surfaces so that water flows without restriction."
