Those can be avoided for all documents and presentations that are not written by multiple people at the same time. In practice, such use cases exist, though - but in order to enable my own full productivity I have managed to cut those ties.
in an IT position I wouldn’t be able to replicate issues a user is facing
Having to support users of Nadella-Assholesoft (NA) is a whole different issue. No one can reasonably expect to have any job relief because they hate NA when they sign up for an IT support position for NA.
The benefits of Linux for me (no ads, no telemetry, familiarity of the terminal and config files, open source, privacy, sticking it to big tech, etc.) just don’t translate into things that would make me more productive at work.
You are obviously prioritizing what’s important to you. That’s pretty normal. However, anyone who wants to and can switch, your switch, fighting the uphill battle to get Linux more widespread. Especially now that the divided states of southern northern america have gone off the deep end and turned full-scale fascism. Any silicon valley oligarch product you manage to cut from your life will protect the lives of innocents in america and elsewhere in the world (palestine, for one).
Convenience is no longer a good option when it comes with fascism and support of genocidal regimes.
