LibreOffice, not OpenOffice. I believe LibreOffice was forked from OpenOffice, and the latter hasn't had any updates in ages.

I imagine that the UI you selected was the one of the "compact" or "single toolbar" options? It is a little confusing that some of the one functions disappear with those, it would be helpful if it was listed which ones were missing

I had thought that OpenOffice was the one that "looked modern and familiar" while libreoffice is the good one but lools older.

You're confusing OpenOffice (dead project pretty much, hasn't seen updates in ages) with OnlyOffice (the Russian one with the licensing shenanigans and "AI first" stuff, UI is M365-like and very similar to the LibreOffice "Tabbed" UI)
