These people don't get to pick whether they use Excel, either. They have to, they just want to get their job done and go home, too.
They don't get paid to walk upright, basically. So why do it just so someone else can buy another yacht?
You seem very defensive of the workers. That's cool, I'm one of them.
Good workers will do better with the right tool. Bad workers, those who are resistant to change and are unwilling to learn, will never do better. So why cater to the bad workers? Now catering to the bad workers makes sense if the job is so basic that virtually no training is required, and bad workers need to eat, too. But saying we should all crawl because they don't want to run is absurd.
It is if you don't get pay to run, getting anywhere faster doesn't help you at all, and it costs more energy. And you gain nothing from it. That's my point.
