According to your article, building custom WIM is the only way to encrypt or protect the MAK key. I don't know why Microsoft offer such way to deploy the key, why not use the similar key embedding method for office.

As an application, Office is leveraging Windows Installer technology so it is possibe to natively provide transforms and patches that contain information to be used during the install. With the right tools those files can also be opened and read so the key is not neccesarily "encrypted". That said, I happen to agree that it would be nice to have a tool to embed a key in a Windows install without creating a new custom image. We have already submitted that feedback to the team. Keep in mind though that a lost ISO image with a key embedded could be just as bad as a lost key.
