are you able to get your work done on other suites like LibreOffice / OnlyOffice, or does it require MS specific functionality?

I can't speak for everyone but I rely heavily on VBA scripts, dozens of macros, PowerQuery for ETL, connection to azure SQL data, etc. If you work with big data excel is basically a must.

Given that OP posted a Mac screenshot, Pages and Numbers would likely work just as well for the files themselves.

Terrible app names to be honest

Not free, complementary. The price of the computer covers it.
