@theorytoe like many things in society, inertia. Working in the legal field now everyone only ever uses Word (or at slowly increasing frequency to distance from US tech, LibreOffice) and it is the worst. We aren't allowed to run any software on our computers that didn't come from them so everything that isn't Word is in a browser and it's all contractor churned garbage that doesn't work half the time so someone couldn't make LaTeX or even typst templates because we aren't allowed to use anything other than Microsoft Word

@sam @theorytoe i really dont remember word working this incredibly badly when i was a kid. I used it a year ago and i had to restart it every 30 minutes to resolve text rendering errors. I do not have this problem with any other text editor.
Everything in tech was originally written by White men, and now those systems are being maintained by 3rd world foreigners that lived in mud huts
