I've been testing it and it seems like a good solution for general productivity and a great option for people migrating from MS. It's open source and cross-platform, but I just don't see it in any conversations about office software.

For me, it's so far leagues beyond LibreOffice. I really need something that works on my phone and syncs across devices, and allows collaboration. OnlyOffice seems to fit the bill. It's also far more intuitive to my preferences.

I am sure that some people wouldn't like the fact that the interface runs as a webapp, or use of Java, but it's strange to me that it's not usually even in the conversation.

This is a moot point for me, same as when "It's developed by China!"
Remove networking permissions from the Flatpak, run it in Firejail, hell, could even put it into a container if you really wanted to be sure

That’s very interesting. There’s a widespread boycott of any product with Israeli ties due to what the Israeli government is doing in Gaza, yet what Russia is doing is even more clear cut but this doesn’t register as a problem for most people here.

You couldn't get more "clear cut" than what Israel is doing. It's also a matter of degree. Invading another country is bad, but it is not a holocaust.

Besides, boycotting Russian products makes no sense in the West given that they are already sanctioned to hell. You'd have to go out of your way to send them money.

How is it more clear cut? What Israel is doing involves genocide, forceful expulsions, colonization and annexation. Gazans haven’t had running water or electricity for over a year now.
