I'm one of the authors of the book. Yes you're right. The book outline the transition from the "old world of BI" to the "new world of BI". If you read through the book, you'll see the biases clearly stated there:

- ELT over ETL

- Data Modeling is crucial as part of BI workflow

- Cloud DW over on-premise DW (but this depends on your org's requirements)

- SQL reporting (Redash, Metabase, Looker, Holistics) over non-SQL reporting (Tableau, Qlik)

I'd toss SeekWell[1] in the "new world" category, but we've taken a different approach. Instead of forcing people to use a whole separate platform for BI, we decided to tightly integrate with the tools people were already going to for data (e.g. Google Sheets, Excel, Slack, etc.). We've found teams stay better informed when the data is in places they're already hanging out.
