That's a generalization that Windows 10 is not a bad operating system. There are a lot of things I don't like about it. And you absolutely can have Office 365 without Windows. In fact, I would argue that Nadella & Co. have made very specific effort to make Windows itself irrelevant. Sadly, I don't consider the Windows experience all that compelling anymore. It's still better than the competition, but they went down a path I'm not a fan of. I felt it was all going to go down the tubes when Belfiore disappeared from forefront.

It's not a bigger generalization than how general Windows10 is to begin with. Why would you be any more specific with this sentence than what it tries to cover? I agree that you can run Office 365 on Android and iOS devices, but why would you? Probably once you are forced to move, you are doing nothing more than giving your user base a chance to change on that and switch from Office 365 to something else.
