1) It sounds like you are maybe not in the target group, which largely comprises data scientists and the like.
2) Reports are one of many reasons people use notebooks.
3) You can work with notebooks in proper IDEs like PyCharm or VS Code or Emacs.
Having said that, I do agree with you that notebooks enable poor programming habits. (I have seen quite a few notebooks with > 10k lines of code, which is insanity.) Among other things, diffing notebooks is typically a big pain too. It is just that for many folks, notebooks' pros outweigh their cons.
