Yeah, this mostly makes sense to me. The one gap to me is how you handle cases that blend what Presto + dbt do. Presto is the interactive query layer; dbt is the batch modeling layer. But sometimes (i.e., metrics) you need to model interactive things. To me, the mesh/OS/whatever layer would ideally help out here. I think that's the one place where I disagree with your post. Governance isn't just access control. It's also governance of business logic, which includes both batch modeling and interactive metric calculation. The Presto + dbt combination doesn't yet help with the latter.
