I guess this would be true of many things, in that often with
filters/converters, they have a reasonable go at the job, but often can't
do the full thing... Which is understandable, particularly as Word is such
a moving target, but a basic RTF converter should be possible.

Mnn! I don't know if any others have a use for a workable RTF
export/converter, but on a personal note, I wouldn't expect it to be
available for nothing.
