As someone in a systems / ops engineering role it frustrates me endlessly when someone sends me information / data in the form of an excel spreadsheet or a word document.

My only are the applications slow and buggy (unless I’m guessing you’re running Windows?) the file format is very hard to work with / from if you want to do anything with it outside the vendors application, data quickly becomes stale and it’s not easy to populate automatically using standard tooling let alone share the information generated there from in an accessible, digestible format.
