A lot of end-users still mispronounce Firefox as "Foxfire". They don't understand what an operating system is and they don't know the URL bar exists so they Google everything.
If your friendly neighborhood computer nerd, like me, tells them to check out "Lee Bray Office", first they think that's a dumb name, and then they fail to find it online.
In the geek niche, yeah, LibreOffice is fine. Outside of that, it's a disadvantage.
(Doesn't help that the product was slow and buggy for a long time either, so for a lot of users, it became, "oh, it was that crappy Microsoft Office knockoff".)
