I'd distinguish between O365 (crap) and native apps like MS Excel, etc.

In my experience G Suite and O365 are equivalent. Useful for a few things, rubbish for anything serious.

Except that an O365 subscription includes the native apps, so the crappy webapp stuff is just a free bonus for enterprises staying on the good native stuff.

Not all subscriptions do. We're on the bottom rung and don't qualify for the native apps (don't ask why, but apparently for ~60k users it's too expensive). We moved from G apps to O365 and I prefer the former. Yes, some people (finance) need excel but most people use it as a glorified list manager.

$8/m vs $20/m

so that would be $3/4 of a million a year to jump to include all desktop apps.
