You can open multiple Excel instances since at least Excel 2003 but Excel would not go out of its way to open files in a new instance if you just double click on the file.
Excel is, for good or ill, one of the engines which settles the dispositions of multi-billion dollar calculations of dollars every day. For certain high-value, high-influence clients this is a feature worth having.
