On the other hand, its more like "nobody ever got fired for using excel"

I think in this case it’s more like “nobody who would know better than to use excel had the authority to make the decision not to use excel”. Given that this was a government project, my guess is that there are very few technical people involved at the decision making level.

I'm willing to make an exception in this case.
