I suspect sharepoint is the platform version of excel & VBA. You & I might hate it, but it gets powerful capabilities into the hands of regular people.
sharepoint is probably many non-engineer's very first exposure to actual version control with checkouts, checkins, version history, and merge.
Sharepoint has version control? I thought it´s mostly a poorly functioning Dropbox copy.
This comment is absolutely hilarious to me, because the main selling point for SharePoint (for the longest time) was that you could version control Microsoft Office documents. Then intranets happened, someone wanted to build a Turing machine with it, and now it's the monstrosity we know now.
