IMO, yes. Why? It's easy to pitch, easy to start, and has a history of being "easy to do" (a statement that I don't agree with).

I think more folks would be pushed towards data science, but, in my experience, people freak out when you put those two words together. You say "linear regression" and folks want to run, but really it's just a stats way to say "make a prediction from this data" (If you're a DS or Stats person, please don't hurt me lol).
