Fair point, but Sheets hasn't replaced Excel. Sheets only competes in the in-browser market and Sheets by itself does not make money for Google. If you go back a few years, Microsoft was the 80%-er that lacked features (notably real-time collaboration) whereas Google offered an entire suite of software with free real-time collaboration. People pay $6/mo to get the entire suite for their company. Gsuite is not comparable to the "lite" word processors that Joel was talking about or the open-source tools like FreeCAD that I was talking about. Both are objectively worse than their paid counterparts and extremely limited in functionality.
Also worth mentioning that Sheets has competition in this space now that in-browser 365 Excel is free. Tho neither is feature-complete vs desktop Excel
