Yeah a DB where any user can accidentally hit the spacebar and erase a formula, and never see any warning that their outputs are now horribly inaccurate.

Data > Protect sheets and ranges, choose Protect range or Protect sheet, and then click Set permissions to customize who can edit them.

What Problem?

and they save versions every edit or every few minutes too. It's free version control that you cannot forget to turn on

Huge contrast with MS approach to this

MS approach is the same these days actually, people even complain about it.
When was last time you used Onedrive or Sharepoint connected Excel? That's also how it works nowadays.
I am anal about doing this at the range level, but few people are.
