Lol, that's definitely a factor. Actually plotting is the perfect example because python is really popular in the space and matplotlib sucks so much. While an analyst may not understand Python very well, they often understand the data itself through either previous projects or through other analysis tools. It's kind of like vibe coding a UI for a backend that's hand built.
LOL thanks for the laughs. But yes seriously though, most kinds of data analysis jobs several rungs down the ladder where the result is not in a critical path amount to reaffirming what upper people believe. Don't rock the boat.
Does it reaffirm the biases of the one who signs my paychecks? If so, then the code is correct.
