Extremely hard to tell an HR person, "Right-click on here in your Workday/Zendesk/Salesforce/etc UI and export a protobuf". Most of these folks in the business world LIVE in Excel/Spreadsheet land so a CSV feels very native. We can agree all day long that for actual data TRANSFER, CSV is riddled with edge cases. But it's what the customers are using.
