I think the Google Sheets devs would agree with you that spreadsheets shouldn't be used for anything serious. That's why it's missing such basic features as an X/Y scatter plot with a line - which is trivial in any other spreadsheet program.

Personally when I have a few dozen data points and I want an X/Y plot with a line, I find a spreadsheet is a better tool than MySQL.

Yup, I pretty much guarantee that Google Sheets is not intended for people who need X/Y scatter plots. I would theorise that 99% of Excel users don't require that feature either.
