Comically with their resources they could have put together a type-safe back end on sqllite with multiple available frontend APIs to gradually transfer users to Excel But Not Shitty, yet seem to have made no effort towards anything like that.
I still see people getting date and numeric fields mangled by excel on analysis processes that take literal days to solve because it ends up recursing over all the cells multiple times, and yet even showing them a simple Python or whatever program that does the same thing in minutes, and the result is still put in excel, the next time they need something similar ... Here's another excel abomination.
These aren't dumb people. They've been trained by Excel that the world is awful, slow, and error prone.
