Yes, Wine is truly a miracle. Once full support for Office is achieved, we should expect huge uptick in Linux adoption.

Yes, Microsoft does still sell MS Office 2024 as a one time purchase:

Outlook is a business exclusive these days?! Outlook used to be included in the most basic version of office back when I still used microsoft office.

Yes the do have an one time purchase option. You get 5 years of updates but no new features. I have it on my home computers. But new features are not a big deal since the differences are not big anymore (just like mobile phones.)

I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to suddenly add "features" that break said support.
