1 - You describe what most Banks and Hedge Funds would call RAD (Rapid Application Developers) Developers (I know redundant like saying "The La Brea Tar Pits...the the tar tar pits ; 0 ). They are those who are good enough with dev, but understand the biz domain well. I've seen some startups where Product Managers can also function in that capacity, prototyping, basic dev.

2 - Couldn't agree more, but ALAS, there aren't enough people graduating with CS degrees, let alone STEM in general. When I tried to do a market analysis, it was a painful experience. My CoFounder (Great Engineer) was able to do in two hours, what would have taken me two days, because of his software and database skills, not to mention that he had more time to interpret the data vs just gathering. I'd be curious to continue the discussion. If you'd like, please send me an email to ben@projectsherpa.com
