The main flaw of the article is not controlling for product category.

I suspect most data warehouses have similar NDRs.

In many companies a data warehouse is the place where you dump all your data and let everyone run poorly written programs against it.

Add to that poor engineering culture in data teams (often lead by non-technical people) and costs are bound to skyrocket.

Hilariously accurate description of a data warehouse.
