I think honestly the problem is a lack of tech literacy. I've seen spec sheets that are glorified database and json schemas in a spreadsheet, put together by BAs and translated by hand.

It could be done directly if every BA had enough programming knowledge to put together schemas and run CLI tools to verify them.

That's quite a lot of programming knowledge. It makes some sense to decouple the business-oriented from the more technical roles - BA's trying their hand at coding is how you get mammoth Excel spreadsheets and other big-balls-of-mud.

I'd prefer not to.
