I will be pleasantly surprised if Discord could reach a $1 trillion dollar market cap on that business model.

This is my recipe as well and I've launched a number of products [1][2] this way and have had no complaints from customers.

Those are really cool. I didn't know about them (I was also using Google Sheets :|).
Perhaps because I'm comfortable writing software it still feels very limiting to work within spreadsheets.

I'd guess to keep more money to use for things that are important to them.
Do people actively look for ways to pay more taxes?

Love these formulas and wish this information was more understood and accessible to people when making decisions. I've personally benefited a lot from a mortgage payoff spreadsheet I have. It's so easy to duplicate a tab, change the interest rate or additional payments and see what the long term impact is.
That being said, and a disclaimer that I created this, I have been charting my path to being able to retire early. I found it difficult when duplicating tabs to simulate different scenarios and keeping the tabs up-to-date with formula changes. If this speaks to any of you, then consider checking out the tool I made - I have not looked back at my old spreadsheets.

Not sure why this is down voted. Real estate is a common hedge against inflation. It's just much more complex of an investment vehicle and you can't just jump in and out of real estate like you can stocks.
You could opt for a REIT instead.
