Why is generating plots so bad in Google Sheets?

I love Sheets. We use it all the time in our organization to quickly share small raw datasets or to jointly collab on some psuedo quantitative task (ie budgets, tasks, etc). But anytime I go to make a plot, be it simple bar chart or xy scatter I almost throw my laptop out the window. How can this be so much less intuitive than Excel (a fairly low benchmark...) Am I alone here? And if not, why Google why?
