Don’t build ETL on Tableau. They haven’t made meaningful product progress in 10 years and completely missed the changes in data transformation. They are playing catch-up, they don’t understand where the world is moving.

Tableau, once full of creatives, has been gutted by Salesforce since the acquisition.

Not really a Tableau user, but I bet they are doing it to increase vendor lock-in. Which has always been an industry wide problem, proliferation of APIs and languages for that reason. I am not even sure how this could be any different, if the remuneration in a capitalist society depends on scarcity of the traded product or service (and the commons are privatized as a means to increase it). Here, the commons are the common understanding, standard APIs, and interoperability.
