My suggestion MS might be rewriting Office in python was deliberately flippant.

Hopefully we will reach a point where we can write macros using python, which might actually make me switch back to Windows, something I am starting to think about more lately since I am hearing good things about wsl.
I'm told by people doing it, that Office Addins, as opposed to Office Macros, can be written in Python today.
