I can see the use case of this being similar to having Excel connected to an SQL server and creating some pivot charts off of the connection. Then rather than emailing the Excel file (which might be quite large depending on how much data is pulled into Excel), emailing a URL which is much cleaner.

Am I correct in thinking that Mode is not really a reporting platform (e.g., QlikView, Power BI) and more of an investigative, analytics-sharing tool?

Yes, it's more exploratory and lower-level. It can do the usual "dashboard" style reports but its closer to Juypter notebooks and allows you to run python + sql (+ R now) and even edit the HTML to make your own visualizations.
