The audience must be factored in when crafting the story. Because it dictates aspects of it. the language used, the embellishments added/removed, delivery method, the actors etc must be carefully crafted.
Some stories are short and straight to the point.
I had a colleague where if the analogies are used to as part of the story told, the message is not full understood by him.

Narrative and clear communication aren’t mutually exclusive, but they are difficult to balance.
Storytelling is a skill.

That is dependant on what you are trying to achieve.

Which is obviously true. Storytelling might be a way to deliver that message more clearly in some cases. But to be honest, the sections where the author starts to tell a story, I just glanced over.
Storytelling is overrated – in interviews, in marketing, in non-fictional books.
Clear communication is key.
