LaTeX produces ugly math too when people do not use it correctly, though this happens less often. I realize now that the problem is that most people writing math in Word are not using the Equation Editor. But the fault lies with users, like myself, not with Word.
I’ve long said that math written in Word is ugly, and it usually is. I don’t remember what version I’d tried before. I tried it again recently and was pleasantly surprised.
It was hard to use and produced ugly output. I tried to use the Equation Editor in Microsoft Word years ago and hated it.
