MS Office is going in the same direction as GSuite as far as I can tell (despite no clear need to do that). It's becoming an increasingly online system that's steadily more hostile to offline work. Using a document creation suite that works like that, or in the case of GSuite outright refuses to work offline, strikes me as a recipe for disaster in some kind of business or connectivity SHTF scenario. Then of course there's the whole parasitic, prying surveillance and snooping in the name of "helpful" user experience enhancement, telemetry and other bullshit corporate-speak for shamelessly sucking up your data. Another awful-smelling infection spreading among all the big corporate software players and making MS Office in its latest versions much more like the abomination that is GSuite (or anything by Google really). Do you really want most of the documentation being created by your business to be subject to perpetual viewing by these companies? I'd hope not. Libre Office isn't perfect, but at least it has much less of all the above while still keeping most of what makes an office suite simply work across the board.
