> What's pushing parents towards a paid product over a free one that works better for a student use case?

Office 365 is free for students and has the same collaboration features you’re describing.

Do they no longer require a school email address with a school part of Microsoft's program? Are middle schools handing out .edu emails now?

Edit: a web search confirms that they still have those requirements so I remain confused
