It does get rather problematic when you have large quantities of...stuff. You can't run linear stuff in parallel so now you're bound to whatever single CPU core you have lying around.

I'd say that getting some basic data science computing skills should be more important than the silly SPSS courses they hand out. Once you have at least baseline Jupyter (or Databricks) skills you suddenly have the possibility to do actual high performance work instead of grinding for gruntwork. But at that point the question becomes: do the people involved even want that.
