"Microsoft’s business versions of Office and associated cloud services are 
also up 18 percent in revenue year over year, with Office 365 commercial 
revenue up 23 percent. If you’re wondering whether businesses are moving 
to the cloud, Office commercial products revenue dipped 13 percent year 
over year, thanks to the ongoing shift to cloud services."

Office is a cash cow. When you look at what Microsoft has ported, VS Code, 
much of .NET, and even SQL Server, they are targeting developers. Given 
the move to the cloud they are hoping those applications ultimately wind 
up on Azure. They already have Office covered in the cloud. 

If you really insist:
