It's only "stupid" if one suffers from a catastrophic lack of empathy for people who are not programmers and for the incentives to which they are exposed--which do not include using a software developer's preferred tools, nor do they include the carving out of time with which to learn them.
I would hope that we would be generally wiser than that here.
Like being a "programmer" is some genetic trait or something, or like using excel in any more or less productive manner doesn't require carving out hell a lot of time, it's just that time is taken from user's lives in small pieces, and doing PROGRAMMING seems like taking a university course.
I actually have a lot of empathy for people who forced to deal with all those problems, otherwise I just wouldn't care.
I would hope that we would be generally wiser than that here.
