I don't even understand what's being added to these programs anway, lol.
For most purposes Office 2003/2007 would be fine even nowadays, unless you do some crazy stuff in Excel I guess.
The newer versions have Office365 in it, which makes it easier to administer for large companies. That is also the big customer base for them, which means a lot of legacy support bloating the entire thing, while it mostly runs of slower web technology, rather then being native.
Yeah but how could they sell you on subscription services and 'new features' if you just keep using the old one?
Bit like buying a new car for no other reason than "it's new".
That said, in 2018~ i had to modernize an MS Access 2003 database and about lost my mind so there's a case for everything i suppose.
