Can't we have statistics entities from long-term statistics?

I can easily display some long term statistics in dashboards with the ‘statistic’ card that includes offset, period, type, etc.

Very convenient.

But I cannot get the same feature in the backend as an an entity.

Yes there is this statistics helper but good luck to understand how it works…

And probably some SQL sensors to read the LST database are feasible … but ugly and not easy.

WTH couldn’t we get a simple way to get entities out of our beloved LTS ? Helpers or sensors ?
That would allow to display statistical entities in tile cards, etc. and keep our dashboards beautiful
