I mean they couldn’t just do it in Matlab? or Python? So incredibly lazy.

Python, R, Mathab etc. are outside of many people's skillsets. I've tried to evangelize to many fellow researchers, but they simply don't have the time or the interest in novel programming languages when the tools they have (largely) work.

Matlab is quote expensive.
