Those repackages of libreoffice packages are actually official.

https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-from-microsoft-and-mac-app-stores/

These versions are free software (as in open source) but there's a small charge to cover the effort of putting software in the app stores, and to help develop the software (and build our communities).

They are not. I do not refer to the package called "LibreOffice". If you search for "office" on the Windows Store, you'll see a bunch of LibreOffice clones that are not branded as such and are not free of charge or contain advertisements.
