The reasoning behind yes, it would help is in building data tools for people. So you load up your parque files with data, ingest it into your platform, it uses clickhouse (or some OLAP) for tabulation of data, the platform presents a UI that allows the data engineer to select which fields, etc.

This can only be achieved by utilizing some sort of type system. Whether it's reflecting on the tables, codegen on the fly, or having to write custom adapters for each structure. All of which can be greatly simplified with an ORM.

It's not going to help much with bespoke report asks from the business though.

Yeah, this is mainly aimed at applications that need an OLAP backend (think user facing analytics, or a database that backs chat applications)
