Well if the screwdriver sales guy takes your bosses bosses boss and their spouse out for a nice dinner, mysteriously leading to your org purchasing screwdrivers for everyone who is asking for a hammer to do their work then maybe the hypothetical craftsperson might start complaining. A ridiculously large number of people have excel installations and exactly zero budget to get access to a less shit tool.

Then blame their employer (especially if it's a billion dollar medical company) if they are so easily lead a stray.

  More than one party can be at fault for a problem, Microsoft pretty explicitly sold their screwdriver as a hammer.

    Did they? My entire argument is wrong if Microsoft sold excel as a tool suited for genetic research.
