Fair, but A. what's a good non-Google or MSFT spreadsheet option, and B. that generally feels like worse UX than something like this. This feels like a different flavor of "Why would anyone use Slack/Discord when you could just use IRC." You're not wrong, but there's something nice about purpose-built apps that have tools meant to solve specific problems instead of using a more generic tool to try to solve multiple specific problems. It's not as if I don't have other ways to solve these problems but having one nice neat tool that does a thing is useful. A good example is an app I just re-installed for a trip - Splitwise. It's nice for splitting bills for various things among sub-sets of people on a trip together. It could absolutely be handled by a spreadsheet, but then someone would have to make that spreadsheet, and make sure it did the math right and had enough rows, and handled odd scenarios like non-even bills.
