I often get the feeling (today) that 80s business suits were eager to throw thousands and thousands of $$ on lame XT PCs with monochrome monitors just because they had Excel (or something similar)

Even the Apple II had Excel and was seen as a business device in the US.

So I wonder why Commodore did nothing to publish productivity software for the Amiga?

The numbers could have easily been presented in colourful bars and cakes like in a PowerPoint presentation and you already had laser and inkjet printer drivers on the WB disk (1.3 at least)
