What about microsoft office ?

I want to be able to open word and excel file on my phone, but i don't want to give microsoft access to everything on my phone including dick pics, sextape, bank sheet and other personal data.

Because android allows such bad practice, blocking internet access can be usefull.

With a firewall you can keep using them, instead (and maybe only let through some of the traffic)
