It’s the same story as people building databases in Excel, while it’s small you want to look away from all the details so you choose a tool that doesn’t get in your way. Then when it grows and becomes unwieldy it’s difficult to migrate away because the data is a big mess and there is no model. Postgres has the safety of the data as its utmost goal, while people will just rename genes because Excel automatically misinterprets them as dates.
