They are trying:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro-Office
I haven't tried it myself so I don't know how close it is, but it's meant to mimic the Word user experience more close than LibreOffice.
I have been extensively using LibreOffice in my court drafting, research, report writings and it has helped.. Over the years i have seen the progression of software, bugs I reported having been fixed in 2-3-5 releases always makes me happy.
People hate it for reasons that feel wrong.

For compatibility, it is being improved iteratively.
I am on the fence for wordcraft by storytold for now.
That said, I do self host email using mailinabox.
I do use KDE neon for my own machine.
I have to use some business software which are windows based so I have to use that.. I just rdp into the machine and it works.
I don't use collaborative software because most of the time it's just me.
