Fair point, I was more trying to make a statement about the amount of training data available, not the "difficulty" of the task. I just used Tailwind as an example because it is so ubiquitous with so much training data for LLMs to learn from, while any niche application doesn't have that.

Training data has stopped being a good predictor of LLM abilities ever since they started doing heavy RL runs. I'm not sure how much corporate dashboards/I can't believe it's not excel stuff were in the training data, I guess not that many considering that stuff is almost always corporate and kept inside companies, and LLMs are still great at it, good enough to make people that used excel and used it well daily for 10+ years stop using it for lots of stuff.
