Apple’s suite is free. Go to the Mac AppStore right now. Send a screenshot of how much it costs.
Go check out MSFT’s and see how much it is for their yearly subscription.
Report back.

No it is not. You should read the whole history of the posts I answer. The price of Apple's suite is calculated in the hardware (ergo: not free).
Do you have proof of this?
If so, do you also have proof that MSFT’s is not subsidized as well?
Please cite.
Thanks,
I am not going to discuss general knowledge with you. It is basic economics.
Have a good day.

Tried to overwrite my 365 installed apps from MS via the MAS. Doesn't work, says it downloaded but then it say to "get app". So, I'm left thinking that I need to delete the installed O365 apps that I got from MS, then download/install directly from the MAS. Have others done this and does it work correctly? The goal is to let the MAS handle all of my updates since every other app I have is doing the same.
Thoughts?

You can try following these instructions (ignoring the last one and just download the Apps directly from MAS). The most important thing would be to remove the Keychain entries.

I have a business, so I want to expense the cost of 365 subscription to the business. But my iphone and other products are all under my apple id which I use for personal subscriptions. How do I separately pay for the cost of the 365, and other business software?
You don't have to buy subscriptions from Apple. You can go to 365 and create a subscription there directly with Microsoft then log into that account via Word and OneDrive, etc... on your iPhone and Apple Devices. I have paid for Office 365 myself through my own domain email account - then I install Word, Excel, Powerpoint, OneDrive, OneNote on my Apple devices and log in with that domain email account when it asks for my office 365 subscription. You have the option of switching accounts too if you have a business account and a personal account from within Microsoft's products.
The company I worked at previously switched from Windows and Office across to macOS and iWork very successfully so it can be done.
