Having used looker, it felt rather clunky and proprietary

I was generally able to create better results via power bi, ssrs, or shiny

As I understood it the goal of Looker isn't to make the lives of people who can use something like Shiny better but rather the lives of people who use pivot tables 99% of the time. So rather than having technical analysts making dashboards you have business analysts making dashboards (or at least digging into generic dashboards).
