I'm sick of the inconsistent behaviour in Numbers

This is mainly a vent post. I don't want this to become a Mac vs PC post, and I'm happy to delete if this is not allowed. I'm just wondering if others have experienced a similar issue.

I'm predominantly a Windows user and have been since 2021, where I began using a screen reader. Using NVDA was like a breath of fresh air compared to how buggy and frustrating VoiceOver was in 2020-2021. I decided to use my MacBook Air M1 for a week, though.
Everything works okay. My biggest gripe is that I couldn't get my character sheet for Dungeons and Dragons working, which is in a spreadsheet format. Updating to the latest version of Ventura and Numbers seemed to fix that problem, it seemed. I could actually use spreadsheets, or so it seemed.

Yesterday, I wanted to play around with some spreadsheet stuff, because I'm a dork like that. Opening a new new spreadsheet, it reads how many columns and rows and that there is 1 cell selected. Except when I navigate inside the spreadsheet itself, VoiceOver won't navigate. Goddammit, not again.

Microsoft Excel is absolute garbage on macOS, Google Sheets is okay but the interface is clunky, and I was hoping to mainly use Numbers (especially for audio graphs as I haven't figured out how to read charts in Excel using JAWS or NVDA). But the inconsistent behaviour of Numbers really turns me off using Mac and it's really frustrating and disappointing.
