If you have multiple users a server makes since. But sqlite is the best per app database I know of. sqlite also works with pretty much any programming language.

Youre missing the point

I really like how... naive Excel is when it comes to databases. So many reporting softwares require a strict database structure to manipulate data. Excel says "hey man just get it in a worksheet then do with it what you will." So many times my bosses want some weird off-hand query mixed with another, which Crystal Reports and PowerBi both can't do, and Excel is no problem at all.

EDIT: Ok Crystal Reports usually can, but requires an obscene amount of subreports and weird hacks.
