I guess, but that's just half the problem. Like most people now use google docs not just because it's super convienient but kids are also conditioned to do so on chromebooks now. That creep RMS was right about somethings lol.
Yes I have heard several independent sources (all personal anecdotes only) that many teens/young adults are not framiliar with basic computing tasks such as navigating the file system. Because their experience has primarily been this kind of mobile-first "cloud" stuff. Design is streamlined enough that you don't need to know where your file resides. It is all hidden from the user.
I can understand why schools distribute chromebooks but it is a terrible disservice to the students to allow such a limited experience of computers to pervade.
Teachers are their own IT department too in all this so keeping simple where possible is important.
With the way everything else is going I don't know if learning libreoffice is really a worthwhile priority over growing and storing food, metal shop, construction and permacomputing.
P.s. get linux --> ur OS no longer adware spyware
