Problem is possibly that most people with that sort of hands-on intuition for data don't see themselves as data scientists and wouldn't apply for such a position.

It's a specialist role, and most people with the skills you seek are generalists.

Yeah it’s not really what you should be hiring a data scientist to do. I’m of the opinion that if you don’t have a data engineer, you probably don’t need a data scientist. And not knowing who you need for a job causes a lot of confusion in interviews.
