never updated, and lacking core spreadsheet features

Apple is profoundly lazy with core software development. Numbers is just one example of how other tech companies profoundly outdo Apple with software. A good example is how Excel and Google sheets support drop down menus while numbers does not. Thats a pretty important and useful spreadsheet feature that really has no excuse being missing from Numbers.

I really wanted to use Numbers, however Apple doesnt seem at all concerned with supporting, improving or maintaining their iWork software. Its really disappointing.
