Try harder!
It’s okay, Elon, we all know you try the hardest.
The future’s wasteland will be covered by bodies of web stalkers who were naive enough to get tricked by mid-2010s shitposts.
“Turns out they never used this to make their metal cutlery darker - who would have thought the ancients were so casually cruel?”
“After months of research we have concluded, that despite all their technical achievements, the ancients never figured out, what does the fox say”
“Today porf. Drobyshevsky is going to tell us about their newest work in XXI cent. anthropology - what is ‘streamer dent’ and why do we have such long heads 2300 years later?”
“Ass, coochie and the rich - dietary practices of homo sapiens in the age of over-production”
Check out Typst (a newer TeX-like layout engine) if you have time, I’m interested in your opinion. I find it a bit simpler to use than TeX.
Oh sorry, I was too focused on calling out the silliness of the idea.
Why on Earth would you curse yourself with MS Office anyway, especially if writing docs is your professional responsibility?
Why not use Git+Markdown+Pandoc, have your copy, data and layout separate?
I understand that a lot of istitutions/companies impose stylistic/technical requirements for docs and publications, - still doesn’t mean you gotta stay married to the worst tooling.
Despite whatever your lead/manager says, there is always an option to nuke it from low orbit and start over.

All software is political, riddled with biases and potential security risks. Most of the time we ignore the policy of the software, because we either agree with that policy, or are conditioned not to clock it as a “policy”, because “this is just Common Sense™”.
I suspect, if the author would have been more honest with themselves, they’d write something along the lines of “turns out, software is a platform for political action, and it scares me” - an opinion that is very valid, valuable and thought-provoking.
