More specifically to your points...

So...  rather than fixing what I consider a rookie coding error, the user is
expected to abandon work on a HUGE spreadsheet (often 14-15M rows) that takes 4
minutes just to load on a very capable CPU:
  Processors: 20 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700K (4@5GHz, [email protected],
[email protected])
  Memory: 125.5 GiB of RAM and 2TB + 4TB SSDs + 44TB on 6 platter drives
in order to save a few milliseconds finding the max width of the incoming data?

Compared to 4 minutes to load a large file; that's not even noticeable.
