The problem is not the "advanced features" within Excel but how they are used. If an excel sheet is basically just a front for a visual basic Programm it doesn't easily open anywhere.

As Google's JavaScript API also doesn't work in open office and whatever else they all have in extra layers.

However i am not sure when and why I encountered such a software last time, but my dad is a Visual Basic guy and has done a lot of these weird sheets for internal business stuff.

So the Visual Basic (lol) macros seem to be the only real thing retaining all the people on Excel, interesting...

If Microsoft removed it, the financial services industry would crumble.

To be honest, I will not be upset about this.

Hope you never want credit, insurance, mortgages, etc then.
