Writer is awful too. It will randomly mess up formatting, especially in tables. Also in tables, it will insist to try and parse cell values like Calc would (breaking numbers and dates), even though Writer doesn't even provide a way to run calculations on those numbers anyway.

Word is awful too, it messes up formatting, especially when pasting images. Good luck writing anything longer than couple pages. Hasn't been solved in 20 years. Have stopped using word 2 years ago but I am gonna assume it's still an issue

Section breaks keep the formatting changes from affecting the previous/following content so you can place and format images as you wish.

I’d blame this behavior on Office OpenXML becoming the standard in 2007, legendary for generating unnecessary nested tags.
