For not spending their time dealing with random excel files being thrown around full of raw figures? It's a common way businesses work but it's an absolute nightmare.
Dashboards mean a bunch of things, one is that people are all seeing the same figures. Another is that people aren't reimplementing the same analysis code (where you can easily get errors, because it's not necessarily going to be obvious how to do the stats on the results). And a very obvious one is the time it takes.
Give me an excel file full of raw numbers and sure, I can pull something together. I can even do it quickly. But I'll bet a boatload of cash I can't do it faster than I can open a link.
I could get another dev to spend the time doing it, but without knowing how much Qualtrics charges it's easy to view this as simply being cheaper.
