So what other choice do you have apart from going to an alternative
like LibreOffice? Or abandoning Windows altogether, and embracing the
greater options available with Linux?

Microsoft did that a long time ago by making Office 365 rentware.

I have a "free" copy of MS Office 365 that has been mouldering in a
cupboard for 10 years, and I never installed it because who needs
software that will die after a year?

I get by with MS Office 97 on my XP desktop and LibreOffice on my Win
10 laptop.
