im aware, but its moreso part of the reason publisher is gone because most people just shoehorn the content into word regardless. its religious refusal to change that basically ended publisher. word being older is part of the reason why many people refused yo change their workflow, even though it ultimately would have benefited them more in the long run had they done so.
I think it’s more that MS always tries to hit all the demographics at once. People who really need it are going to use Quark, Adobe, Corel, or something more use case specific. People who don’t are going to be fine with Pages, Writer, Word, etc. the few times they need something more powerful than a word processor. Publisher ended up in the “no-man’s-land” in the middle.

Don’t get me started on Excel and databases.
Better than Word databases
