About the VCF format
VCF is vCard: the contact-card standard phones have exchanged since the IRDA-beam days. One file holds any number of contacts with names, phone numbers, emails, addresses, organisations and sometimes photos — the format behind “export contacts” on every platform.
Flattening VCF to CSV gives you a spreadsheet of people: one row per contact, one column per field — the form every CRM import and mail-merge actually wants.
