Tldr: as with dashboards, self-serve ETLs don't work outside very specific use cases or very simple pipeline.

Reason for that, as with bi tools, is that the complexity is not in manipulating data. There are tons of frameworks to do that efficiently.

The issue is interpreting data and it's semantics and evolving data pools to the business needs.
