Nor need it be. Nor necessarily should it be.
I would say that it definitely should NOT be!

I thought they were on most machines sold because of a manipulative 
marketing machine and a gullible public.
I think that is definitely the latter. OpenOffice, WordPerfect and even the Lotus word processor have user friendly interfaces that are at least as good as that of Word (their fans would probably say, 'much better').
But I guess that's their choice however frustrating we may find it.
