It really would benefit most people to learn to use (Windows) Snipping Tool or (Mac) cmd-shift-4 to crop an image that is currently displayed on their screen; that would create a new image altogether (cropped screenshot). It's truly even easier to use than whatever Gsuite or Office alternatives they would otherwise use, once you know of their existence.

My significant other is outside of tech and wasn't aware of either of these. Once shown, there was no reason to go back to using anything else to crop images.

No image editors involved!
