One day in the dim and distant past, OpenOffice ate your homework, so now you're going to hate on LibreOffice, a software suite that was once, years and years ago, forked from OpenOffice and has come light-years since then while OO has more-or-less stagnated.

Ooh-kayyy...

Yes. Because such a fundamental process was faulty, the entire project and anything built on its underlying code has a high bar for trustworthiness. I don't believe the *Office projects are rigorous enough about solving those issues, in the way Blender and other similar projects are. So I don't use them nor do I recommend them.

Losing data is unacceptable.

Based on absolutely nothing, you don't believe the *Office projects are rigorous enough about solving those issues, in the way Blender and other similar projects are.

There, FTFY. HTH.

The person you are responding to is correct. I’m a current LibreWriter user and have lost a fair amount of data to it as have people on Word who were unfortunate enough to have collaborated with me. I’m done drinking the kool aid and in the process of switching out.
