Well part of the benefit is rapid development; it's mind-boggling how quickly someone can stand up a dbt project and begin to iterate on transforms. Using Python/SQL/JSON (at small/medium) scales keeps the data stack consistent and lowers the barrier to entry. No reason to prematurely optimize when your bottleneck is the modeling and not the actual data volume.
