I had forgotten that people are seriously paying for office software in 2025.

    Majority of people don't even have ad blockers. I've talked with tech journalists that don't know what open source means.

    There are a few features in 365 that are not built into opens source options, most them are accessibility feature.

    FOSS really does need to up its game when it comes to accessibility features. I feel like there's a culture issue. People need to be focusing on those features right from the start, but it's not even an afterthought. You'll get 5+ different iterations of basically the same program and not a one will have any accessibility features that aren't already built into the platforms that they're using, because everyone wants to do the "shiny" stuff.

    I'd really like to see a foundation set up specifically for accessibility in FOSS. Hopefully taking grants, hiring full time devs and dedicating to coding and maintaining those features for a specific subset of projects.
