The job title is too broad to generalise in this way. Many data scientists never touch a dashboard at all, for many others it's a very small part of their job.

Regardless of how significant the data science insights are, in the end the way you communicate them is through some sort of dashboard.

No, not always. And "insights" might not even be a part of your job as a data scientist. (I wrote a longer comment about this in the thread, I don't want to repeat it here)

What if you are building a data product? I'm not communicating anything on a lot of the things I'm building, because they are simply components of a larger software program. I haven't touched a dashboard in years.
