I don't think this statement is quite true. Word uses compatibility mode for
any document that has an older version than it does.
August12.docx has the setting compatibilityMode = 15. (native for Word
2013-2019)

I changed that mode to 14 (native version of Word 2010) and then Word 2016
acted like LO. So this should be a change starting in Word 2013, and not
starting in Word 2010 as implied.

This really looks like a Microsoft bug to me.  How can shifting to full
justification reduce the amount of space needed for your text? But yeah, I
tried typing a sentence in a new Word 2016 document. If it is only one or two
characters spilling over to the next line, then full justification must be
SHRINKING something and so the entire paragraph now fits on one line instead of
two in non-justified mode.
