I prefer to not use a feature instead of using a hostile one.

In my more than 20 years of journey in the free software world, I never came across a user hostile free software. This is in stark contrast to proprietary software I tried.

The point is that with FLOSS you can fix both of these problems yourself.

That is not the case for any software that is not trivial. Recompiling to remove ads from a free program may be achievable but something like adding the missing support for Excel VBA into LibreOffice Calc is beyond the capability of almost all users.

You can also pay competent developers to add it: https://libreoffice.cib.de/ Even easier if almost all users unite in crowdfunding.
