That wouldn't work for other desktop environments (not GNOME and not KDE). Some
might want libreoffice-gtk2, others might want libreoffice-gtk3. I agree that
the default UI is rather poor on the eye. OTOH, this situation happens only
when libreoffice is not already installed by default, which it is on most
flavours of Ubuntu, unless you select a minimal install.
Not sure what to do about this, to be honest.

Title:
Individual LibreOffice apps do not include GTK support by default
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This is a packaging quirk that I've encountered in elementaryOS, but
I've verified that it also affects the new minimal installation in
Ubuntu 18.04.
When I install LibreOffice Calc or Writer from GNOME Software, they do
not automatically install the `libreoffice-gnome` package and look
completely out of place in the surrounding GTK desktop.
There are two workarounds: I can either install the `libreoffice-
gnome` package manually, or I can install the full LibreOffice
package, which includes `libreoffice-gnome` in its Recommends. Neither
of these options is intuitive for me as a user; I only searched for
"Excel" in GNOME Software and installed Calc because it looked
familiar.
Proposed fix, without knowing much about package dependencies: Can't
the individual LibreOffice apps include `libreoffice-gnome
|libreoffice-kde4` in their Recommends as well?
