I definitely agree with you. I would further argue that the "analyst mentality" has become so engrossed in the foundation of capitalism(and always has been, really) that we see companies across many industries closing down due to the "worker shortage". When in reality the CEO's of the companies complaining the loudest that "no one wants to work" have decided that paying living wages in a deeply competitive job market is less doable than letting the company totally stagnate and dissolve due to lack of people willing to work hard for pennies.

I've long joked that Excel will be the downfall of western civilization, but it's less funny every year.

You either like Paul Krugman or you hate him but there's no denying that excel bugs influenced economic policy.
