> It's so shitty and slow because it's a bloatware

Bloatware is unwanted software, usually pre-installed or otherwise not installed by the user, that slows down your computer and takes up space.

So if a user wants Office, it is, by definition, not bloatware.

Even if we do consider it bloatware -- pre-installed, unwanted by the user, and using up system resources -- that isn't an explanation of why Office itself is slow.
