I mean this is my question as well: how are they making money? As of right now Observable seems like a mix of use cases like Medium-like explanation articles, vis debugging/authoring and interactive journalism that don't seem to generate much money (ofc I can be wrong). I totally agree with you that the DS community is much much larger than the vis community. With the new funding round I think they should start doing something with DS.
