I know there are tons of problems that are solved in excel while they really shouldn't. Instead of getting the expert business analyst to use a better tool (like pandas), money is spent to "fix" excel.
Apparently there is also a class of problems that outgrow pandas. And instead of the business side switching to more suitable tools, some really smart people are hired to build crutches around pandas.
Oh well, they probably had fun doing it. Maybe they get to work on nogil python next
There's value in 'backwards compatibility' from a process/skills perspective. I agree that companies usually pay too high a premium on that, but there is value.
