Customer wants a database, but has the MBA learning disability? Yes, literally the primary use of excel. Microsoft would go bankrupt without MBA brain rot.
It can be sometimes. I do a simple import in one of my personal projects. In case for the client, for over 20 years they have used excel to make all CRUD changes and now they get to build a brand spanking new website to do all of those CRUD changes and they still want to do it in excel.

Some of my clients I’d like to actually set on fire
What’s the use case?

Although I will say this. Companies are lying when they say they want Excel exports. They don’t. They want CSV but they don’t know the difference.
That’s… a normal usecase? Importing exporting excel files?

That makes sense if they’re transitioning people who have been doing it the old way for 20 years.
