We no longer use the Roman numeral system for everyday use because, frankly, the system was clumsy to write. The Arabic system that we use today is more concise and the mostly curved figures are easier to write quickly.

Because we now use the Hindu-Arabic numeracy system whose numbers are 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9 which replaced Roman numeracy system in the Middle Ages whose numbers are I V X L C D and M but Roman numerals are still used today as they form the numerical element of the Latin language which is still spoken today and once was the language of the ancient Romans.

It is clumsy and difficult to do mathematical formulas using them.

They have no symbol for Zero.

Large numbers are complicated by the use of the cap lines to get the larger numbers.

When do you use roman numerals in workplace document?

Best case to use them is for numbering things. It looks a lot better if you said "Example VII" Then if you said "Example 7" in something sophisticated.
