TBH I could get away without it myself, for the odd spreadsheet I do these days I could easily use google sheets and I only really use outlook out of habit, however, the girls use so much space for photos etc, it's cheaper for me to get and share an office subscription than buying storage.
One doesn't need to pay for office, just use the online version and keep documents in either your OneDive to download later, or send them to OneNote.
No, what I was getting at is that I have talked with some who believed that the application was just streamed to your computer from the cloud and if you didn't have internet access you could not start up Word or Excel as it needed to come from the cloud. Thus, they didn't trust they would always be able to start Word or Excel because their Internet connection was not reliable.
And I do fall into the cloud-centric arena too.
- My email is pretty much gmail these days, which is all in the cloud
- My music all comes from Amazon MP3, and is stored in my account in the cloud
- Everything at work is moving to AWS, so I spend most of my day configuring our stuff in the cloud.
- My pictures sync automatically from my phone to my OneDrive account in the cloud, so I don't even bother backing them up anymore.
