I disagree... for the purpose of editing documents from a nontechnical mindset, Word is fine.

Main point being nontechnical mindset.

OP points out LaTeX, but for non-technical and non-academic people, this is a non-starter. Word has an extremely low barrier to entry so it makes tons of sense for the general public and K-12 education markets.

There's a reason it's so popular and why LibreOffice and GSuite have emulated the bulk of it's feature set.
