I have the opposite opinion. If I have something that I don’t care if it’s irrecoverable 5 years from now, or I don’t care that it prints differently on each printer, MS Office can fit the bill.
I collaborate with others, a lot, though. Google is simply better at that

Most serious users can use things other than Microsoft just fine. The problem is file compatibility. Unfortunately, network effects are very much a thing. Plus most users just don't realize they don't actually have to keep shovelling money at Microsoft.
