These criticisms are coming from long time Word users and not a bunch of so called F/OSS zealots.

From my experience, the reason is that Microsoft is trying to "listen" to what their automated statistics gathering tells them is the majority of users. And those are the ones who basically use Word as a fancy typewriter. Powerusers who know what styles are and work with them are in the minority.
This falls into my philosophy of not caving in to the opinion of the "moral majority". They ain't always right and to lower standards to the point where no one is left out only belittles everyone.
Not everyone can be a doctor. There are good reasons for having some standards.
