Simplest answer: You can never own Office 365. You’ll be paying rent to MSFT as long as you use the product.

I also understand that 365 uses the cloud a lot. Another security risk.

Check out the 365 work-alikes Libre Office or Open Office. The software is free. Download and try a copy. Throw it out if you don’t like it.

Libre Office is free, easy to use, does not spy on you, will run on Linux if you dump Windows, and is usually good enough.
