I had this same kind of impression writing product/business reports as an engineering manager at Oracle and elsewhere. But my way of solving it was to build a smarter IDE that helps you do this stuff without ETL.

You shouldn't need to waste time every time you build a report figuring out again how to query Postgres/MySQL/Elastic in Python and how to generate graphs and where to host it or how to set up recurring alerts on changes. The only part you should care about is the actual queries to write, the joins to do between datasets, and the fields to graph. The actual integration code (connecting to the database, copying a file from a remote server, etc.) should be handled for you.

The tool I'm building to solve this is open source if you're curious!
