I agree. :)

However, there's usually a limit to how much change people are happy to go through at once. Someone who's running Windows because it's pre-installed, MS Office because that's all they've ever used and Edge because "the little blue e is the internet" it's doubtful they're going to switch wholesale to GNU/Linux running LibreOffice and Firefox.

On the other hand if you start small with "you can get to the internet with Firefox" and "give Google Docs a try so you can get used to using something unfamiliar" then it can start people on that track.

(Personally I prefer LibreOffice and don't use Google Docs. But the fewer pain points there are for switching, the more likely people are to actually switch. Pushing the "this won't randomly stop working on your hardware and cost you a small fortune on anti-virus subscriptions" angles don't hurt either).
