why on earth would anyone ever use outlook or that 365 version of office?

I use Outlook and the 365 version of Office for University as they have a deal with Microsoft - not sure if education licenses are affected - but if they are, I can't imagine mine - let alone all universities who have partnered with Microsoft will be happy.

Can't you just use libreoffice?

You can uninstall it. Right click, uninstall. Boom, it's gone.

Yes... and then use a browser version or Libre office, great idea.

Actually LO is a good idea. Its free and the best tool to drive the personnel office nuts...

 

/EDIT

To top it off it runs great on a RPI....

Well, I say to use - more like forced. Given a choice, I would use a different service or would have expected my university to have its own custom in-house email server.
As for documents and stuff - I use Google Docs/Sheets/Pages, and before I submit - I push it over to OneDrive as its the "standard" that is used in university, just to confirm the formatting is correct etc.

But officially, we're supposed to use Microsoft 365 Office and Outlook - whether I like it or not and stick to doing what I'm told, that's a different story.

Office hasn't changed in a meaningful way since 2007...just use that.
