I can attest to this. I used to work for an engineering firm that did some groundwater analysis. The monitoring equipment used pressure transducers to measure water columns above the device and wrote a value to a csv every 10 minutes over a very long period of time. I wrote some analysis and graphing tools in python, but was reprimanded and told to use excel in the future.

At my work we have several many thousand cell spreadsheets that are supposed to keep track of constantly rotating inventory.
It is the most convoluted, soul-destroying shit I have ever witnessed. There's a lot of tension because the new people (myself included) constantly fuck shit up because it is so dense.
