We are retiring many of our reports in SSRS and replacing them with Data Cube access to the data. We had 140 reports at last upgrade in 2015 and now planning for our next upgrade that number will fall to 50-60. All the data is crunched in Excel at the user's need.
BI is such a major aspect of business nowadays. Keeping your customers current in information is helpful in keeping customers as well as getting new ones.

Why? To get rid of the installation / maintenance / versioning hassles, and set up news labs quicker (developing country).
Absolutely a big advantage of the browser-centric application, in a single-tenant installation at least.
You say 50 reports - how do you implement that? Render to PDF and let the browser handle it from there? How do you design them?
What if you needed to access local printers or file systems directly?
