In various software there are actions you cannot undo. Most prominent, for me, is deleting a worksheet in Excel – meanwhile in Google Sheets it’s perfectly able to restore a deleted sheet.
In software engineering terms, why do such actions exist? Why is it impossible to undo these actions?
Thanks.

Because the developers didn’t deem it important enough to allow the users to reverse these actions. The code might have been designed in a way that makes reversing this action difficult, so the developers decided it wasn’t an important enough feature to invest the time and resources in order to allow it. Meanwhile, Google Sheets developers might have designed the code so that it was easier to implement this feature, so they did.
