Because not everything is a reliable business? Sometimes it’s nice to make something for fun or practical. I teach front end web development to a total beginner who is only just becoming aware that programming a web app with persistent state shared amongst users requires separate technologies than HTML/CSS/JS. The table API could be ideal for her. The alternatives: shared hosting with PHP/MySQL, anything AWS, or even Google Sheets/Airtable are all much bigger cans of worms that just slow down her cycle of getting things out there and learning the whole of the SLDC.
