I know. Most people don't know how to code, thus they are forced to use spreadsheets as I already mentioned.

> spreadsheets have a lower threshold to pure data

I'm not sure what you mean here. That it is easier for the average human to work with data using a spreadsheet compared to code?

Sure, as already mentioned. Most people don't know how to code.

But what I'm getting at is that a spreadsheet is the poor mans code.

And if you audience is coders (not the whole world), then why go for the worse option?
