It's not because it's better. If you just need a basic excel/doc alternative, maybe.

As soon as you need some more complex excel calculations, LibreOffice falls flat.

Good luck getting formatting to look correct in a .doc file opened by Microsoft Office 99% of the time.

They work very much on compatibility, as that is required by and paid for by governments.

But same applies for M365. Good look opening a docx from Microsoft Word in their web app.

Austria's military just ditched Microsoft for open-source LibreOffice
