Q: Why can't I simply export Contacts to a Spreadsheet???
Contacts lets you export Contacts to a .vcf or.abba file. So what??? I want to export to a spreadsheet so I can use my data elsewhere. I do not want to export to Gmail or Yahoo Mail and then re-export from there.
Why is this operation so difficult, Apple?
And then ... to what "Community" should this question be posted....Ugh.....

Contacts are protected information (you should be happy about this). Therefore, you have to allow access to Contact by opening "System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy"
than select "Contacts" on the left, then check the checkbox for Numbers in the list of applications. This is explicitly allowing Numbers to access contact information.
If Numbers is not in the list, open contact, select some contacts, and drag them to a sheet in Numbers, then go back to System preferences to see if Numbers is in the list.
