Because there’s too much overhead, it’s too hard to share, and the benefits don’t show up until the problem is more complex than most people ever need.

I mean with a Python and Jupyter Notebook workflow it is incredibly easy to share the work and understand what's going on if there's base level of knowledge.

All the simple formula stuff and basic data handling (using Pandas) would be incredibly easy to learn for pros at Excel.
