Most business analysts who are pulling this kind of data have a finance background. To say that they're "too lazy" because they don't want to do their work using Python seems a bit harsh.

In practice what I've seen is that IT and finance departments don't even let business analysts write their own SQL queries for fear that they'll write bad ones that bring the database server to its knees.
