This actually is a really good idea.
Yes, for the reasons you mention. And very, very much no. My corporate hat immediately thinks about a crapload of stuff our network drives have which is under various NDAs, restrictions to store outside EU/ETA, restrictions to store even outside our country and so on. At least our accounts have mandatory MFA and other standard safety features, but cloud storage has a different threat model than our local hardware which also makes it's own little headaches.
I don't play on the contract/legal field on corporate at all, but I do know that some of those NDAs have numbers big enough to bring the whole circus down and other clauses which can even throw someone in jail if things really go wrong. I just hope I'm not the scapegoat at that point.
If data has handling requirements it 500% should not be something people are storing on their "personal" devices.
I personally hate the idea of storing corporate data in "cloud" storage, but MS et al have gotten approval from many governments to do exactly that. So if that is your corporate data store? Then that is where it goes. And if someone is making a new document with additional restrictions then they better damned well have training on how to pick which folder in onedrive it goes into.

Seeing these sorts of posts is like seeing people come here to whine about Reddit. I moved on from windows over 20 years ago. Given how much worse it has become since then, I can’t understand why anyone stays with it.

Comfort, familiarity, ignorance. And there's people like me who use tools that don't exist on Linux (I dual boot Debian Trixie now, but it's barely usable)

Did I miss something in that article? I see no mention of how to disable this, pricing for cloud storage, etc.

just a reminder: there's not only libreoffice, there's also onlyoffice: it's like the microsoft suite but with TABS(and it's open source)

an alternative to MS (or some other third-party) cloud doesn't have to be "personal" devices, though. company-specific handling requirements can still be achieved via self-hosted network shares containing all user-saved data, which still aids in the local storage replacement issue that you're having.
but for many companies and spaces, MS cloud or whatever third-party could be just fine, and this will of course push some of those folks that direction nicely -
Tables in the spreadsheets program, fuckers.
At this stage, I am highly confident that they accepted that they will never add it.
What do you mean? I'm assuming you aren't referring to LibreOffice Calc, as that entire program is tables. LibreOffice Writer also lets you put tables in documents.
If you mean you want to use spreadsheets like a database? Here is an article on it: Calc as a Database

Because not everyone has the skills, the know how and the time to learn a new operating system.
Most people if they were to try to install Linux would probably endup breaking their systems somehow, most don't wanna risk it.
It may seem simple to us, but think of it from the perspective of someone who is afraid to install a program because thinks it's going to make their computer explode, have no idea what a bootable USB is, and have never used a command line their whole lives.
With modern computers with UEFI and secure boot installing Linux is even harder, no average user is going to mess with any of that.
For the average person, the computer is just a very secondary thing in their lives that doesn't get any attention besides the average "my phone is full, I need to copy my photos to the computer". Tech companies know this so they exploit the user's ignorance.

LibreOffice also includes Base, while it's now missing in some 365 editions.

I don't think you understand what they want. I use Calc and Excel and would rather work in Excel because of the features like creating tables. I manipulate data all the time and creating tables from that data makes manipulating it very easy since I can sort and filter it. I can also use the tables I created in other sheets for things like lookups. It's pretty hard to do that in Calc. But if you want a better idea of the features that Calc should adopt then take the Google Professional certification on Data Analytics if you have the time to skim through it quickly to avoid paying.
