And yet Microsoft Office is available via the macOS App Store, alongside venerable packages like Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, Logic and Final Cut (Apple-owned software), the Omni suite of software, Autodesk software, Pixelmator, etc.

The App Store has problems, but all apps there being "loser apps" is not one of them.

You can't pay for Office through the App Store though, you have to activate it with a personal or corporate Office 365 account. If you bought a perpetual license, I believe you have to go get it through Microsoft regardless.
Which is by the way against the App Store policies, so they must have cut some special deal.
