Access is great as a personal, single-user database, but how much software has been written to expand it past that limitation in small businesses? Also, Access isn't available for Mac. And Access doesn't run on your iPhone/iPad. I don't entirely disagree with your comment, but I do think there's room and demand in the market for something like AirTable.

I've personally been dabbling with similar idea for years. Guess I should have invested my time and money in getting it to market.

There were (and in all probability still are) many multi-user Access projects in use by small businesses.

So you don't entirely disagree with a bunch of people who have failed to find this imaginary demand, but you think the demand is there? There is demand for business applications for verticals, and for general ERP functions like timesheets and payroll. The demand for an Access-like or "better spreadsheet" product is all of the "Oh yeah, it sounds cool" variety that never results in sales.
