And I suspect it will change over time. The newer generation has much, much higher computer literacy.
Programming (Python and SQL) is required in the University I attend for any stream beyond a basic language degree. R is required for stats.
My mother is a business analyst, she uses Excel. Needs to find the IT guy to do anything with a database. Building a database and doing complex queries was an assignment in a required introductory course I took as a freshman. She thinks pivot tables are black magic and prides herself on knowing how to make them. We did pivot tables in two 50-minute classes.
I don't doubt your experience at all. But I do think Excel's stranglehold is/will weaken - it's clunky, and newer generations are learning programming even in non-CPSC streams.
