Krita, Inkscape & Libreoffice suite I guess ? Also Texlive for publishing.

What I’m saying is that there are alternatives for some traditional desktop apps. There are few alternatives for the big SaaS productivity apps most users use.

There are alternatives for pretty much anything these days.

No good ones when somebody suddenly pulls the plug on you, because you lose access to all your data and the network - both of which SaaS companies control in order to justify recurring payments.

The people still have some time to get their data, in this case.
Also, people need to realize they don't own data that's not stored on their HW. Cloud is at best a convenience, but I wouldn't trust it to make it so that it's the only place, where my data are stored.
You need to keep control of your data if you want choice in SW.
