It’s probably because Access fucking sucks, leaving excel as the only database adjacent program available to office workers. I would love to be able to use anything but excel on my projects. Hell, python and some CSVs would make my life so much easier, but I ain’t going through IT to let me have that, and it opens up a HUGE can of worms in my line of work if I start using homemade scripts. The execs can pay for a LIMS system if they want me more productive.
