Eyeing Confluence and Confused : Why Workspaces But No Company Site For Trello ?

Am looking into Confluence now and what surprised me is the hierarchy there.

Like, I'm with company ABC and it has three main divisions; A does products, B is for outreach (say, I'm in that one) and C is internal: office management, accounting, whatever.

Confluence has a top hierarchy where you'd have abc.atlassian.net and then there'd be Workspaces for A, B and C, right?

But it's not just that: abc.atlassian.net would have ABC admins managing A admins and B admins and C admins, who'd then each in turn manage members for their spaces. Or no?

I keep wondering though, why is that not the case (yet?) for Trello.

No doubt the answer is: historical reasons, legacy issues, different collaborative ethos etc. etc...

But what always puzzled me with Trello, is that workspace admins also have these apparently superadmin-like rights, such as billing and workspace settings.

Or: have I been missing the difference between workspace admins and board admins all these years?

I think I am missing something there, and would sure like some pointers!

In any case, our ABC in a haze of confusion no doubt, went for MS SharePoint, but I'm still thinking maybe I could convince them to move all of our B Division stuff into Confluence.

I mean, if A and C like living in SP, go ahead, but me, I just cannot deal with it.

Cheers, interested to hear what's maybe what here.
