I think the operative word there is complex.

Yes non technical people can’t write complex sql, but they can self service basic questions easier than learning Python or R for example.

And it’s difficult to code review SQL because complex business logic means complex data manipulations and those are hard to visualize and comprehend. You don’t have to think in a 3D space so much when you write python.
