Yes, Microsoft has hidden it.

Open the 'Program'-folder of the installed LibreOffice. Look for file 
"swriter.exe". Right-click. Chose item 'Show more options'. Click on 
'Sent to' and next on 'Desktop (create shortcut)'. The icon is 
automatically the correct icon of Writer.

LibreOffice is an integrated office package. Thus you can start Draw 
while you are working on a text in Writer, for example. Many internal 
modules are used by Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw as well. It is not 
possible to download only a part of LibreOffice.

When you install LibreOffice you can make a custom installation and 
decide which parts you do not want to install and deselect it. For 
example, you might not need 'LibreLogo' or 'MediaWiki Publisher'. For an 
already installed LibreOffice use the 'Modify' option to disable such parts.

Kind regards,
