To be fair, I use excel (2019, not 365) frequently and I'm never prompted for anything. I had to jerry rig the installation so only excel installed and not the full suite of products, but other than that it's been clean and perfect. Sure, I'm missing some features from 365, but one of those missing features is copilot. Everything else is perfect (and I need data sources and some other functions that aren't in Calc which is why I still use it)
