I have the perfect counter example where some of the data scientists

But I get your point, as a matter of fact I realised the toDF method took
parameters a little while after posting this.
However the toDF still needs you to go from
Part of the reason is that it is really easy to just call toDF on Scala,
and we already have a lot of createDataFrame functions.
(You might find some of the cross-language differences confusing, but I'd
argue most real users just stick to one language, and developers or
trainers are the only ones
