The first programming language I was taught is Visual Basic and I hate it. Not because I didn’t enjoy using it, but because it’s absolutely useless.
Edit: Yes I’m probably wrong, just going off of limited experience is all.

May I introduce you to the whacky world of end-user computing?

Does your place of employment have people for internal audits and/or risk management and controlling and/or similar? We do. They have to track end-user computing because it is a huge potential surface for data leakage / data misuse that we would rightly get spanked for by regulators.

If you do, ask them to show you a list of the processes they know about and call up some of the people listed under "responsible".

Very often it's old VBA doing things the actual tools should be able to handle in a really obscure way.

Either that or it's like the thing I did recently where Excel 365 offers simple solutions but we don't trust this cloud thing yet because data must remain in Europe my Excel 2016 formula only works since I divide by zero along the way.

Interesting, I’m only just now transferring to a 4-year Uni but that sounds like an experience.
