This is pretty honest and acute description of the industry landscape and prediction going forward.
I think DS has been abused by some people as an umbrella to not produce qualify code, yet they somehow they put themselves in higher regards in the value chain.
However I do see there is a real position for DS in the industry, but it should be a specialization of senior SDE when they decide to further their career, not its own job family. Otherwise it should be renamed as data analyst for clarity.

Hit the nail on the head here. I worked in an DevOPs/ETL team across from the data science team, all they did was write SELECT * FROM sales and complain Teradata was slow and when they got the result set they'd use "R" to SUM the column and display it with GGPLOT.
