Having one tool that you can use to do all of these things makes a big difference. If I'm a financial analyst at a company I don't need to know how to implement and use 5 different specialized ML models, I can just ask one tool (that can still use tools on the backend to complete the task efficiently)
I‘m sorry but this may come across as condescending, but if you are a financial analysis, isn’t doing statistics a part of your job. And doesn’t your expertise involve knowing which kinds of statistical analysis are available to tackle a given problem? It just seems weird to me that you would opt to not use your expertise and instead use a generalized model which is both more expensive and has poorer results as traditional models.
