It's used with sarcasm / irony. In this use case, "naturally" implies the author intended to communicate one or more emotions from a certain narrow set of possibilities. That set includes:
- An eye-rolling, critical emotion - where they used up a valuable spot on the team to retain a person who ostensibly promises to specialize in exactly this type of problem, but instead they proved to be useless even in the one area they were supposed to deliver value.
- A emotion similar to that invoked by "c'est la vie". Sometimes this is resigned, sometimes this is playful, sometimes this is simply neutrally accepting reality.
Follow-up comments from the person who wrote it indicate they meant it in a playful sense of "c'est la vie", and indicated that the team found camaraderie and joy in teasing each other about it.
Sorry if this sounds a little bit like ChatGPT - I wrote it myself but at the point when one is explaining this kind of thing, it's difficult to not write like an alien or a robot.
