A problem is that before you have a webapp at the level of Excel without any customization, we're talking developer years of effort. Webapp frameworks are for trivial frontends, they make the equivalent of slide handouts.
(so "budget appropriately" means developer years for simple apps with equivalent functionality to basic excel sheets. It is not reasonable to expect this to happen)
In 2009 or so everybody decided that webapps don't even need a data table component at all, and I have yet to find such a component that has the features of Delphi 1.0's datagrid (sorting by row, dynamic rows, built in search, accessible, ...)
GWT is the only thing that even came close, even made an attempt (and tolerable means, the third iteration - cell tables). It's the only thing that I ever found tolerable for developing business web apps.
This means that anything built after that point that has a web UI has subpar data presentation to a windows 3.1 app. And it shows. Handling nontrivial amounts of data in a webapp ... well compare Google Sheets with Excel, and it's obvious even there. Sadly Google Sheets probably has hundreds of developer-years in it at least, maybe thousands, and that's what it requires to get a webapp to that point.
