Does your lab work well with 2-3 people being able to set up the data processing for the rest of the team?
Learning the unix commandline is considerable effort and requires regular practice. Instead of learning bash, biologists could spend their time reading relevant papers in their specialization or brush up on statistics.

Those people who know their stuff aren't doing that job because they have their own data to deal with. There are people with 10,000 line proteomics outputs who manually search for missing entries. There is at least one student with single cell RNAseq data which she can't even look at (never heard of fastqc or the LESS command). It is frankly disasterous.
