If I’m doing anything substantial, calculation-wise, I use openpyxl.

Agreed. I really tried to like Libre/OpenOffice over the years but it never felt right. OnlyOffice really hits the spot for me.
I don’t use Windows much any more but I was happy with the discounted student version of Office 2016, afaik the last perpetual license.
It’s a bit more barebones but I really like BoxySVG
I don’t know about Adobe but I think it’s true for some software.
My previous employer (~30 person company) got in trouble for a Fusion360 file that was sent to a customer after being edited by an intern’s pirated copy. Employees and interns typically used a different licensed CAD software.
I think the pirated file being opened at a larger company tipped them off, but I don’t know how they ultimately tracked us down.
That being said, I personally wouldn’t want the stress of using pirated software, let alone pirated assets in a professional setting.
Where are the files ultimately hosted and who is paying for the bandwidth?
How do the servers avoid being taken down?
The data that you entered into lemmy is stored: username, password, email (optionally), posts, comments, etc. Assume instances keep logs of all the API requests they get from any given IP. This is the case with nearly every website.
If you don’t provide email and lurk then I don’t see much of a concern. You can always use a VPN if you want more anonymity.
You might also find the Python library pandas useful. Its “DataFrames” can mirror your excel data 1:1 and you have convenience methods like to_excel(). Easy to combine with numpy for performant matrix math.
XLSX just becomes a container for storing/sharing your data, and while Python is used for analysis. I would use matplotlib for plotting rather than embedding in the sheet.
