Mobile OS it's Android,Desktop is Windows.

Huh? Microsoft Word on Windows native?

I bet your usage of cloud office burns more energy than an native app.

I think the commenter is trying to say that it's not something you need a Windows device for anymore.

I agree with that sentiment, but disagree about web-based Word, web-based Word is terrible, we often joke in my team that we need to start over if someone accidentally opens a SharePoint document in web-based Word.
