And meanwhile the manager that broke the rules, connected their personal copy of excel straight into the database and made the company 8 figures in profit over the course of the last year just outdid you and your team of report programmers.

And meanwhile an actual data scientist looked at the data and outdid the manager by a factor of 10, by creating a more meaningful report, that is based on an actual statistically sound basis, preventing a disaster.
See, we can all conjure up imaginary people. :)

Logically most of the profit making activities may be enabled by tech it usually isn't created by tech. The managers rule breaking activities are probably unrelated to his success.
This also wouldn't silo the data in the users laptop, subject it to being destroyed because the user dropped it, and limit frequency of updates and access to how fast the user can respond to emails.
