It might be useful to reframe it as skills versus roles. A developer can have business analytics skills and a business analyst can have development skills and each are probably better for it. In terms of career, maybe the perfect role is a developer-analyst or an analyst-developer...these are things people do not describe in job solicitations because they are uncommon not because they are unneeded.
Anyway, it is ok to just start learning about what you want to learn about (it can be both new frameworks and business intelligence). There's no college course that guarantees the correct decision will be made at each inflection point in one's life or career.
