Why should I have to fight the software to write what *I* want to
write the way *I* want to write it?
Simple answer: To make it easy for those of us who work with the same
kind of document every day -- writers. One inch margins and 12 point
Times New Roman will do fine thank you. Click on Word and get to
work. It's a word processor. It's software for writers. Works fine.

Still doesn't answer why they made it so difficult to turn the crap off
when you need to.
It insisted on re-formatting work I'd already managed to beat into
submission, undoing what I'd struggled for hours to get right.
Auto-format is no good if it insists on formatting the document
completely different from how I require the document to be formatted.
If it won't do what *I* want it to do, it's worthless.
