> I do know it's rare to open an existing .docx in LibreOffice and have it look right; who knows what it looks like in Word after I've edited and saved it.

This is not true except as hyperbole. Most docx open and let themselves edit quite well in LibreOffice Writer, and they look right.

However, you still have a point. There are always some cases when the compatibility is not good, and the only way to use said docx files would be in MS Word.

Maybe you've had better luck, I'm just describing my recent experience of using Linux at an O365 org until early 2025.

I submit most people had better luck than you and stayed silent. The fringe cases are the most vocal ones in their complaints. Of course, this is not implying that your experience is not true or less valid.
