If they aren't made aware of Excel and its capabilities, how will they know that they could/should use it? You can't just wave your hand vaguely at the different software on offer and expect them to pick it up and use it as and when they need to, without showing them what it does.
We teach them at that age because it's immensely useful for nearly all coursework at GCSE/A-level. Also it's not really absurd seeing as most office jobs require you to use it at some level
