I tried LibreOffice for over a year.  Too many functions missing, or
having to hunt for where they were buried, or goofy and often incomplete
workarounds.  LibreOffice didn't even have a handle at the corner of a
table to expand it to add a new row with the same attributes while also
changing the data ranges in a linked chart.  Had to go back to MS Office
for both Word and Excel.

The last version of MS Office I installed on any of my machines was Office97, since then only OpenOffice or more recently LibreOffice.

I had not built any custom apps using VBA with any Office component, but
those who do can't migrate to other office suites.

If I end-up using a desktop of a customer it will have Office365 installed.  I hadn't done much Word/VBA programming until this year when someone wanted a system to generate and maintain risk assessment documents based on numerous partial boilerplates.
I tried to do it using the "modern" Word javascript API, but found it was far from good enough for the task, so scrapped it and started again using VBA and that wasn't bad.

I've seen entire corporate applications built on Office and scripts
that don't look anything like the Office apps.  Conversion away from
MS Office would take a lot of time and money.  Similarly, if someone
built a custom program upon LibreOffice's scripting then a whole new
project would be needed to migrate to MS Office scripting.

Agreed, you're making a one-off choice there.
