Why buy office? If you're a business that is pretty much based around office documents and your customers expect it then there's maybe a reason.
For home use, forget it, there are plenty of compatible alternatives.
With Apple kit you get their office suite and for Windows and/or Linux there is Open Office or Libre Office (and yes I use all of the above in different flavours on assorted desktop/laptop setups).
All of those can be used locally without a cloud connection which I find rather useful since i am often out and about and don't have a decent connection. OK you can't sync across multiple devices but if that is a concern then for non-private documents I could always use a cloud storage that doesn't report everything to google or whoever and just open the document in a local application if I have remembered to upload it beforehand. If I didn't remember then tough, it couldn't have been that important.
