I am with you on the applications that still work thanks to all the love and tears of the MS engineers. A document file that can still be read decades later should be the norm though, and Office 2019 needing to 'upgrade' them is less than ideal. At that time I think people already smelt that important docs would need to exported in something else (ex. PDF) just in case MS changed its mind about how text or layouts would work.
