Yes, so much this. I've encountered this same issue.
For our non-technical employees I write an endpoint that gives them a CSV with the most current info (often with a super simple front-end that they can use to query for specific date ranges or with filters). They download this CSV and upload it into their sheet manually to update the underlying data when they need new info.
It would be so great if you could just say "here's a URL; keep my data fresh from this source" and it would automatically do it.

It does. I use heroku dataclips to get data out of a database and import it into google sheets using importdata. It's really simple and for my use case incredibly useful.
