What is the use case for undoing one digit at a time?

You can just delete them with backspace.

If LO had multilevel undo (as in you could pick to undo letter at a time, a
word at a time, and a cell at at time) and unlimited undo stack this would be
less off an issue but as it is now undo in spreadsheet is essentially useless
duplication of the backaspace key.

As undo actions are very limited they should focus on larger higher level
actions, not typing single letter. Other more sensible applications split undo
actions on punctuation, pauses in typing (as in pauses in user input) or they
separate when input type changes (typing vs selection vs performing other
actions).
