MBA-type here, the way I have seen data science described in large organizations is much more like an analyst with a more robust set of tools than excel for deriving information/wisdom from data. Using the tools that other "data scientists" develop to solve business problems. That's almost certainly diluting the term but it's much closer to the work I do than the title might imply. Since 90ct of business problems can be solved with regression, typically logistic or decision trees, knowing what tools are appropriate to apply to a certain problem is more valuable than being able to actually write those tools. Bootcamps don't spend enough on the why of what we do because I think it's just something you pick up through experience.
