Office is one of the easiest things to pirate. It 1. is very popular 2. has an official mass-activation way that can be easily exploited. I suspect we may have a spy in there
Or, y’know, just use LibreOffice with the tabs setting and contextual groups if you can afford experimental features
or if you still hate the UI just use WPS instead, who cares that it’s awful and from China you don’t have to pay
Also, why would you even get Word or PowerPoint on macOS?? Excel I understand but these two??
Let me clarify what I meant. I am saying that we pay for the OS which includes applications on both Mac and Windows. Only Mac gives us a free suite of office applications.

Main reason would be full compatibility with Office documents.
Because Word and Powerpoint are what they know.

Ah, I get it now.
But you can pirate Windows for the exact same reasons.
