I am not sure I understand the first comment very well. Are you saying that instead of duckdb use modern data stack? Because DBT and DuckDB don't seem to contradict, but can work together. FWIW, I think the only important breakthrough in the "modern data stack" is really dbt. The rest, nothing modern about it

It’s more a comment on where the market is at rather than a recommendation. I’m not saying it is bad tech, but I don’t see it’s niche.
If you have a few billion records and you want to filter, join, aggregate them using SQL then DBT against an OLAP server solves that issue so well that it doesn’t leave much white space for DuckDB.
I mentioned modern data stack because when you have SaaS, low code, consumption based billing, open source etc then it treads even more on the DuckDB value prop.
