However, Calc (and other spreadsheet applications) offer a bunch of very usefull tools for working with data, that are held in a spreadsheet. From my observation, approx. 80% of all use cases of spreadsheets is having data in lists. In order to benefit from the usefull tools, Calc users need to understand database-like structures. For example, in order to benefit from DataPilot you must not separate your data on several sheets, just because they belong to a different time period. ;-) It´s not the users to blame for not knowing about these facts. Blame it on authors, trainers and teachers... and on people who are not willing to beleive, that productively using an office suite needs some education on it.
