I work at MSFT. I understand why they migrated to LibreOffice. Outside of work, I use none of MSFT products.

I do have some burning questions though, 1. How are they saving their work to the cloud if they use LibreOffice ? I don’t think it offers the same functionality that M365 suite does. 2. How are they handling IT security? Are they using a different vendor ?

Well, now, they can handle it more seriously, which before - they couldn't quite. That's because Microsoft - your company - is one big security breach. You are known to pass information that gets into your hand to the US federal government's intelligence agency, and you probably use it for all sorts of commercial purposes, like training AI models, directing advertising etc. So, by installing Microsoft Office, especially Office365 and cloud facilities, they were ensuring a security failure.
