Which Data Warehouse are you all copying your data to? Which BI tool are you using?

I would agree it seems that the DW is redundant. We support direct access for all of the most popular BI tools and users typically use SQL Endpoints to connect to their delta lake.

The total cost of ownership can dramatically decrease by eliminating the DW as it is an extra step in processing for replicating data. The SLAs usually get better too.
