Everyone uses Excel because it's a tool everybody learned at University or even highschool, nothing more, it's not because it's good at all.
It's a terrible app but Microsoft managed to shove it everywhere in education. Same for Words.
Unfortunately Libre Office and co tried to reproduce the terrible UX of both software, while coming up with inferior functionalities because they had to try to maximise compatibility with these MS tools, time not spent on providing actual useful stuff.
Access is a bit better and I wish more non programmers learned basic SQL instead of Excel.
