      It would be very strange if you couldn’t just export your data to csv and then run a python script in a shell on it.

      I would agree with you, if I’d never met a corporate executive. Anecdotal, but all the CEO’s I’ve ever met have got to grasp at any power that anyone will give them and then exploit it for profit as much as possible. If it ran locally, then they couldn’t charge a subscription fee. They even do the drug dealer trick of letting you have the first one free (there’s a preview period) and then taking it away unless you pay (the sub fee).
