My experience with Google spreadsheets in a business environment setting is that it served to compensate what is missing in our logistics software. It seems to be a go to tool for quick fixes, implemented without high level planning.

In other words, employee Z is fed up of X feature lacking in our logistics software and would create a template to address this.

From my personal point of view, our organization loved it. Organization profile: Large business,~500-1000 employees To answer your question, yes it had become a data warehouse, only on niche data segments, that were not addressed in our main tool.
