In some cases you can run things under WINE, and they work or mostly work. Unfortunately, in plenty more cases, you can't. That goes for games, creative software, business admin tools, and just about anything else.
And while LibreOffice isn't bad as an office suite in its own right, MS Office is the still de facto standard in many lines of work, and being 95% compatible when you export as an Excel spreadsheet or Word document just doesn't cut it for professional use.
Until not just Windows but also the major software packages that run on it are no longer the dominant standards, it's always going to be an uphill battle moving normal people onto an alternative platform like Linux, and one that often can't be won today.
