I'm curious why do you think of DAX as a virtue. My poor SQL-shaped peg brain has never really fit the DAX hole of MS software.
Also, it always struck me as something too complex for the non-technical folks, and not expressive enough for tech-literate analysts/data engineers &c.

'Excel is my database' wasn't always a punchline. That's more than an equally domain specific process like Qlik, and more than a specific vendor tool like tableau. And anyway if PowerBI didn't have a pain point it wouldn't be a MS product.
