This is absolutely untrue.
There are many many jobs that are effective people doing data analysis in excel spreadsheets.
The people doing this data analysis by hand can greatly improve their ability to do their jobs through simple things like learning how excel macros work. This is programming!
There are tons of low handing fruit in the world, where basic tasks that are being done by hand, could easily be automated by the people doing it, through very simple, easy, "toy" solutions.
