> I don't see how "Numbers" is any more intuitive than "Calc"

In an office, ask a bookkeeper, sales manager, whomever, "Hey, show me the numbers!", and you're going to see a spreadsheet. If you ask, "Hey, show me the calc!", you'll get a blank look.

Evidence suggests "Numbers" is a perfectly cromulent word.



Where I've worked, you'd be more likely to see a spreadsheet poorly pasted into a PowerPoint presentation with a poorly scaled bitmap of a logo in the corner that is a 6 MiB attachment to an email...


Your worthy point embiggens us all.
