Person that works with a product owner that likes spreadsheets perspective: Spreadsheets are an incredibly painful way to track product work. We really track our work other ways that actually help us, then, we duplicate that tracking by pasting it into the spreadsheet so that you are happy.

Tracking product work is just one use case. The power of spreadsheets is their flexibility and general applicability. I would be sympathetic to your plight, but I had a boss who wrote letters in Lotus 123 in the DOS days. There was no place from which to copy and paste because there was no multi-tasking. The only upside is that Lotus 123 was better than edlin.
