How were word and excel going to get collaborative editing like google docs without some kind of online account?
A common HN refrain is that defaults matter, so by default in order to be feature competitive you need an MS account.
For my personal computer I will use Linux and windows 7 in a VM for autocad and other windows only software, for work I use whatever they provide. If it lets my company pay $x per user per year for supported collaborative word and excel, common cloud storage, and shared calendars… that’s pretty turn key and a great deal compared to having an in house IT department that could do all of that, when tech is a tool for our business and not core or adjacent to the business
