The Ribbon interface used on office products isn’t there because it’s good UX. It exists because there’s a software patent on it.

If office didn’t use a patented UI, someone could make office software that replicated the UI of MS Office which would allow companies to switch to other products without having to retrain staff.

Microsoft was enshittifying their software long before anyone else.
