I suspect they are more suspicious of `pandas` than the syntax of the import. But, I'm also curious as to why.

Probably because it is indicative of a script written by a scientist, ignoring software engineering principles.

Because of Pandas specific issues, or the concept of data frames in general, which are also prevalent in R and Scala?

Ah, yes, that could be. The tool is not bad, but it's used badly often.

Personally I don’t think it is stable enough for a long lived service. But opinions differ. Might be worse if the author reinvented pandas manually, too.
