CNET is claiming the best free MSO alternative is not LO

There is no "menu interface". You simply hide content of ribbons, leaving tabs
at top of window. When you click on tab, it's content in "ribbon-form" will
appear.

If you want old menu in MS Office post-2007, you must buy some third party
extension.

While it might be good idea to give users choice about interface they like, MS
is definitely not giving it their users (but MS never promised to be about
choice, so it's hardly an accusation).

I think you mean "if AOO doesn't maintain...." True?

I thought one of the arguments for dropping MSO in favor of LO or
OOo is that MSO ceased supporting older formats when there was a
new release. What formats has LO stopped supporting?

Try EuroOffice For Android for ODT format files.
Their website claims that CALC will be supported by the end of the year.

Also AndrOpenOffice.
It can read and write ODF format files, but not edit them.

Kingsoft is well-known in Android circles as LO doesn't have an Andoid option!
The company was formed in Hong Kong when Hong Kong was still British - so it's not a "communist Chinese" company...

Google doesn't show any results for EuroOffice - do you have a link?
