Microsoft follows Apple's three-year sliding window of operating system support and right now, Microsoft will only support installing Microsoft 365 or Office for Mac 2019/2021 for Mac on macOS Catalina and later. They have also disabled the license servers for their retired Office suites, so these cannot be freshly installed on older Mac operating systems.
