That’s my take also. But apparently, it isn’t important on Linux so we

they would never use this function if they use Linux.
I wasn't there obviously so I don't know the nuance of the discussion.
But the fact that nobody uses Excel on Linux means we have a bit of
freedom to decide what to return there since we are not bound by the
compatibility concerns, rather than just declaring "we shouldn't change
it". That'd be my take.
Of course, I don't have a skin in the game, so I'll leave the final
decision to whoever is more appropriate.
I remember hearing somewhere there is an official port of Excel for
linux (and I used to run it under Wine), so some people do.
Although whether the "official port" is Office 365 running in the
browser I don't know. Maybe I should try it, I do have a subscription
:-( See what it returns.
