Much like the referenced Excel spreadsheets becoming unwieldy, so does a dev's machine [0].

It would be considered incredibly bad practice for such a dev's machine to be used to perform almost any calculation of significant business importance. It's why mediocre Tech Executives are able to appear like they got some work done by focusing on "no access from dev to production."

With Excel there is no such separation, and when there is it would make a great punchline to an XKCD or Dilbert cartoon.
