Can you share one or two aspects of FOSS office software that caused problems for you? (from my perspective, it's a modern miracle to be able to run "apt-get install libreoffice" at a command-line and have freely-available, n

Sure - ZFS[1] is one example that springs to mind. Those acquirer-side incentives do seem rational (and to some extent traditional) in a business sense. The risk-mitigation I mentioned was from the perspective of users, not so much of the a
