Do they really want those? I haven't used either in a very long time.

I'm not aware of a report that shows "popularity of Excel", but I can give some points.
* I pay for my own Excel license because it's so useful for me in a variety of contexts. My wife does all our family accounts using it. * Globally, Microsoft estimate 1 billion monthly active Excel users, and said at a conference last year that some admin staff spend approximately 30% of the week using Excel. * Training for Excel is a top selling course on Udemy. * Working in Enterprise, there were a lot of people (BAs, Finance, PMs) who said they would quit if IT didn't provide Excel.
So I'd say "yes, there's a lot of people who want Excel".
I'm sure there is less enthusiasm for Outlook, but amongst people who live in calendars and email, it seems to be pretty popular.
