There are other reasons to not like Word other than 'it six's. One is availability. If you're on Linux all day, your options don't really contain word - it's not free to download and install due to needing a license.
You have to go and find some other computer that runs windows, and start it up - just for that one document. Then you have a single use computer, which obviously isn't a great experience.
Closest thing that I use is Google docs, sometimes. I (and many others like me) know how to use word (and excel) pretty well due to some life in that world. I still remember most of many of the hotkey combinations to step through the menus.
The reason I use vim for everything now is - I use vim for everything. I live in vim/tmux/ssh/tui, so most problems go there first if they can.
There are obvious benefits to the vim/git/Typst setup, if plots need to go in a document for example, but it's also strengthened by word not being easily available.
