All valid points, but I think the biggest reason is:
- It's what's available.
There is a bit baked into this statement which the article breaks down further:
- Companies won't approve anything else in the hands of ordinary users
- Companies' developers are too busy with too high priority items
And some things not mentioned in the article are also baked in:
- Even when developers get around to a project that could replace VBA, they don't understand the project, underestimate the time and resources required, and deliver a subpar product as a result
- Companies lay off people doing work IT and developers can't be bothered to support with no real plan other than overburdening the remaining ordinary users with extraordinary problems
- It's what's available.
