data dictionary like properties and reusability

You have to assume that in a reasonably sized company (more than a couple thousand employees) Power BI and Azure are not the only tools and platforms being used in that company. Smaller companies may be a "single shop" environment and may be easier to manage from a data stewardship perspective. Larger companies have enormous amounts of data subjects, way beyond your example of sales / product management / manufacturing. They also tend to have a lot more politics and fiscal chopstick battles.
On that (small) scale this is entirely up to you. On a grander scale (enterprise level) this touches on data stewardship, data governance and data domain questions - these have their own tools like Purview or Collibra etc. It also can manifest in recommended usage of "golden" (promoted/certified) datasets etc.
