Not, to my knowledge, in a way in which selecting a PivotTable subrange and
charting would produce such a chart. Am I wrong?
Moreover, there is the coloring of the chart, with outer rings being variations
on the color of the inner ring (at least as an option). PivotTables don't do
that.

That means that whenever data is updated, a reprocessing will be necessary.
It's not like that with existing chart.

AFAICT, more than two steps.
And then - many, possibly dozens, of coloring steps.

I beg to differ. Many charts show percentages rather than absolute values. That
too could be computed using an auxiliary column of data, or a pivot table with
a computed field. So why have _those_ chart types? We could make to with only
absolute value displays, and have the user take care of making sure everything
sums up to 1.
