Martin, there are no unsurmountable technical reasons for a vendor to refuse direct access to the data and therefore transfer the integration burden to customers. How do we secure data in Azure VMs and Azure SQL DB? If multitenant hosting is the issue, they can provide a “premium” tier where the data is segregated. As far as endangering operational processes, they won’t be endangered if the query loads are sent to a secondary replica. In fact, the operational processes will be under more pressure if ETL is running for hours pulling data from some horrible APIs.

The security implications alone are prohibitive not to mention endangering operational processes with (potentially even unrestricted) analysis query loads. I completely agree with your notion that the best format for structured data is a relational database for staging/dwh purposes unless there are really (unlikely) extreme data volume requirements.
