The people who are spending time manually doing a task that could be handled by a program are usually the exact same people who don't have the experience (or authority) to be able to say "this is a thing that could be automated with a tool if we paid a few thousand dollars to develop it".
Hiring someone to remodel a bathroom is hard enough, now try hiring a contract software engineer, especially when you don't have budget authority!
That said, I heard about a fire chief last year who had to spend two days manually copying and pasting from one CRM to another. I wish I could help people like that know when to pay someone to write a script!
I imagine even in that role figuring out how to hire someone so solve a problem would still take longer than manually crunching through that themselves.
