Well, yes you do, because the spreadsheets make it easier for the regulators to add more regulation.

Think: there used to be a theoretical limit to how much regulation could exist, because the regs had to be known by a person (otherwise how are they enforced?).

Now we have regtech. A whole industry built on automating compliance.
