Office alone has an estimated 1.2B to 1.6B users right now.

Unlikely, since that would exceed the entire Windows installed base.

For comparison, I remember some years ago one hacker decided to do a scan
of users visiting his website, to see if they had the OpenOffice fonts
installed (this was before the LibreOffice fork). He found those fonts
present in about 15% of his visitors.

Total population is irrelevant.

Well, you did say “the whole planet”. Are you backpedalling from that
claim now?

April 2022: 345M paid seats of Office 365
April 2023: 382M paid seats of Office 365

Still a far cry from “1.2B to 1.6B”, isn’t it?

And that’s why Microsoft is increasingly resorting to rentware/adware
tactics to try to grow its revenues. And prop up its share price.

 
Good.  They're a public corporation.  That's what they should do.

The ones who voluntarily hand over money to help them with that aim are
the dupes.
