    REST API seems somewhat limited at the moment. Sometimes it's necessary to programmatically monitor our Power BI datasets, so being able to get the data from a dataset would give us limitless flexibility in this area.

    Yes, Yes, Yes!
    This will also allow to combine dataset's data with other sources in other pbix models.
    Import instead of limited live connection
    Please!!!

    But that enumerates the name/id of the dataset, and not the data itself, right?

    You can enumerate datasets via the REST API.
