"90% of queries processed less than 100 MB of data. [in big query]"

I think there is a problem when someone with such proclaimed knowledge of the sector gets to this, and similar, pieces of data, and does not attribute it to pricing. Could it be queries are short because bigquery pricing for analysis, as confusing as this models are, is based on amount of data?[0]

Because the other line of reasoning is that a big chunk of that 90% of professionals being paid to do their jobs, do NOT take into account pricing of the tool and are using it for small data, instead of thinking that people are using the best tool with the lowest price, because there's plenty of options to process and analyse data right now in the cloud.

On the "business have low amount of data", that matches my experience as well. At first I thought I was simply dealing with smaller sized companies, but it's a trend of doing big data projects for data that'd fit a pendrive.
