One catch though is that this can only be installed on a single PC (and there's online activation, so it will actually check). So if you have a desktop and a laptop, you'll have to pay double, whereas subscription covers up to 5 devices, if I remember correctly.

5 years down the road that deal looks a lot less worth it.
Depends if you use the cloud storage. 6TB of cloud storage for $99/yr with the standard Office Suite thrown in isn't too bad.
I use it as an offsite backup for my photos. It took an eternity to upload but the delta uploads are not too bad.
But also you'll have 5-year-old software that doesn't run on Windows 13.
If I can run Office 2010 on Windows 11, I'll probably be fine with it on Windows 13
