PowerBI tried to be a self-service tool using a familiar interface of excel, with menu ribbon on top and other spreadsheet like controls. But it is bloated like all MS apps and CoPilot can’t save it.
Google Sheets breakdown under heavy loads, so one still needs to do the querying and transformation elsewhere and use it just for the final view on which the visualisation can be based.
I believe tools like https://equals.com/ will grow now that non-tech users can leverage in-app AI assistants to query and wrangle data and the task no longer feels too complex, and they still get the familiar spreadsheet interface for analysis within the app without requiring an export to “sheets”
precisely how I think google sheets will get used - a python program will query the DB (using something fast like DuckDB or Arrow; or even just hit a data mart) and then do some analysis (could include ML and stats and all taht) and produce numbers which then get pushed to various people’s GSheets.
