You’ve missed Office suite.
I know people love Excel and Word, but I just don’t get it. What even is Word? The web thing? Teams Word? The app?
Whichever Word last touched it, formatted it. This breaks it in the other versions.
How is this is a thing? It’s so awful.
I my experience, it's often that Excel is an absolute necessity. Try telling people who work in finance or accounting that they will have to use Google Sheets or another alternative and you'll have a picket line out front of the office within a week.
I've never met anyone who was a die-hard for Word, I'm sure they exist but they can't be a large contingent of users.
Excel is a lot like Photoshop. Everyone hates the parent companies, but there just aren't good alternatives for either one.
For many, Excel is sufficient reason to have a separate Windows computer or the determining factor in using Windows; Mac Excel is not the real deal.
Every single time I talk to an auditor or security team:
Them: Are you a Mac or Windows shop?
Me: 100% Mac, except for the Finance team...
Them: sigh Yeah, same here.
