> it's not the same in terms of usability.

Office 365 has made it so Libre is the clear winner in UX for most of my users last 5 years, honestly.

In what way?

My gut feeling is that most people mostly like their documents just being everywhere and being accessible everywhere. Office 365 storing things in the cloud, that's pretty much the case, you don't really need to understand where a file is (it's "in Office") or how to move them. Another bonus is not having to worry about what's been deleted. It's only based on anecdotes, but I suspect this is a lot more important to people than most other aspects of the software.

Yeah... No. Not gromking filesystem location is creating an entire generation of computer users illiterate in basic computing concepts, or even being capable of mapping through technical abstractions to answer silly things like "where are the bits you desire now?"

This is not a good thing at all, as it's creating a form of indoctrination to learned helplessness that isn't easy to get past. At least nowhere near as easy as it was in the past.
