There is no instrument that allow you to buy "spot oil" without paying storage cost one way or another, so saying "a simple price-return of oil" is just fairy dust. If you look at returns, what's the point if you don't think of the carry cost? If you compare the return of two stock index do you...

How is this "config" any different with coding? You are just transforming code from one language to another. If something can raise a syntax error then it is coding. If your clients need to learn an API then it is coding. At the very least "no coding required" means they can config it with...
