Kind of correct but never say never. There should be a point upcoming where an explosive mixture of MS' software becoming too enshittified to make any more sense to use, and also too expensive to use (MS wants everyone to have a M365 subscription which they can then increase the prices for all the time), as well as competitor's growing stronger over the years as well, making them a more and more capable alternative, will result in MS Office losing market share and dominance. Windows is also already on a slow decline, it had around ~90% market share during the Win7 era and since then it's sliding downhill, at about ~70% right now. Sure it takes many years, decades even, but it's bound to happen with MS' current course of action as well as the competition growing better as well.
