I’m confident that a significant portion of problems that ML is applied to today can be solved by some Excel sheets.

Machine learn is also called statistical learning. It does not mean deep learning which is a subset of ML.

Creating a model in python or R is going to be much easier than in excel.

True, but my boss will ask for it in Excel anyway.

Because nobody wants to spend time crunching an Excel sheet when you can train a computer to do it for you, automatically, all the time.

If you have a strong ML work flow it’s going to be easier to scale and automate an ML solution than an excel solution.
