Now imagine if you have a preprepared word processing document with 100s of formatted hyperlinks inside it...

Well you may have conveniently tested it on the only word processing software that it does work on. Attached is a hyperlink in different formats.

And without being too bombastic, it is like being on the right side of history - when people are looking to switch out invasive and crappy tech from their lives. Adobe = Windows - crappy popups / heaving megalith Affinity = macOS / PopOS / Elementary - fast, does what it’s meant to
