On setup, they let you select the "tabbed" UI

On setup it asks you to select one of four UIs, some of them are missing features. Once I spent almost an hour trying to solve a problem, but it turned out it was unsolvable in my UI. I changed the UI and found a solution in a moment.

Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that OpenOffice exists, but their UI needs a lot of work

LibreOffice, not OpenOffice. I believe LibreOffice was forked from OpenOffice, and the latter hasn't had any updates in ages.

I imagine that the UI you selected was the one of the "compact" or "single toolbar" options? It is a little confusing that some of the one functions disappear with those, it would be helpful if it was listed which ones were missing

I had thought that OpenOffice was the one that "looked modern and familiar" while libreoffice is the good one but lools older.

You're confusing OpenOffice (dead project pretty much, hasn't seen updates in ages) with OnlyOffice (the Russian one with the licensing shenanigans and "AI first" stuff, UI is M365-like and very similar to the LibreOffice "Tabbed" UI)
