There's been viable alternatives to Office for many years, and they're not just approaching good enough they're battle-tested and rock-solid and feature-rich.

But why would Microsoft respond? If you buy a new laptop or desktop it will likely be running Windows and that gives them many opportunities to promote and bundle their software.

You’re thinking like an individual and a power user which blinds you to why MS office is actually dominant
