Not to mention the need to set up the actual page layout, markup, and related code... this is a PHP app so it's not that easy. Since I'm the only developer/everything else guy, my time has to be split between customer support, development of cashflow-generating features, and everything else needed to run a business. Maybe you're the "check out the Turing-test-passing AI I developed in a weekend" kind of programmer, but I'm not that good :)

I don't know about you, but if the requirement is simply "give me my data if I ask," I'm going to do as little as possible to get them that data, and then let them do what they wish with it from there—if it's not in a format they understand, then let them hire a third-party to write a converter; that's not my job. In this case, I think I'd just expose a single API endpoint that just spat out SQL dump statements.
