I genuinely, genuinely don't understand the need for microsoft office. A text editor has sufficed for everything I have ever wanted to do.

    Excel spreadsheets bigger than databases. And the userbase doesn’t know any other options because of monopoly.

    It's actually amazing that Microsoft has been able to keep their users inside their walled garden for so many decades. When I was a teenager in the 90s, the same argument was used... That their users don't care to look for other options. And it's as true now as then.
