You're missing the point. Power came not from Excel the file format, but Excel the GUI tool for editing Excel files. You cannot have drop-downs and colour pickers and separate tabs and embedded images in a single python file without writing a a whole custom GUI config tool.

Python can and often is edited by GUI tools with color pickers and dropdowns. IDEs such as Vscode have these.
