@nemo there was a big push to open data standards about 15 years ago, also the UK govt use a lot of Oracle based systems where CSV is the only half reliable export method that is less likely to produce data that isn't completely mangled..
UK govt still mostly uses MS365 for everything internally and closed down and outsourced a lot of its in house IT departments, but I've worked in public service in the 2000s and CSV was widely used when exchanging data between different systems..

@vfrmedia Ahhh I see… I get the jeepers when I read anywhere MS365 or Oracle and outsourcing critical infrastructure and yeah if that is the case… then I see why…
