I would go vote 'disagree' as I normally do to these, even though
Microsoft are (reputedly) understandably ignoring them, but I'm not
sure what your point is.

Changing the opening view to the current showing probably covers most
of what you dislike, but I think it's more programmed logic than
'nerve' that Excel uses.

We could ask Microsoft to close all instances of Word under the same
circumstances too?

Excel has the nerve to ask me if I want to open a document as read only
and
STILL asks me to save changes (there are none) if I open it that way.

What's really fun is going through closing (and confirming
non-existent
changes to) four or five Excel documents, then cancelling closing one
and
watching all the windows reopen.

Let's not mention that Excel is the ONLY piece of software for windows
that
closes all instances if you close one window.
