Microsoft, stock symbol MSFT, has a BU, a business unit set aside only for Mac products and development. Apple, stock symbol AAPL, does not pay for Microsoft Office; the application suite you erroneously assumed was no longer around previously.

And yes, like most software on OS X and Windows, you do have to pay for it. Here you go.

200% sure, it's not, repeat not, available on Linux/GNU...
how comes?
No **** Sherlock. It's not there for a good reason - lemme give you a hint: People wouldn't pay for it. OpenOffice, KOffice, many other alternatives that people use (I use NeoOffice/J on OS X) and use well exist there on GNU/Linux. Those (usually) educated users are using better, freer options that fit into the business daily operations without sacrificing usability nor ability to anything Microsoft could produce. Smarter for that type of user, even smarter for Microsoft to take notice.

Hint over. Toodles.
