I think the problem is with Excel sheets and CSVs. We aren't taught how to manipulate data otherwise without the use of code. SQL seems to have immense overhead. Set up a db, import data, etc. Although it makes sense, it's an afterthought. We know how to write scripts, but we don't necessarily need to learn SQL to get the job done.
