Sadly no. Nowadays monopolies are built on open standards (Linux) with law-making-machete in left hand and patent-axe in right. Everything is open unles wideVine/trusted computing/other vendor lock or another smelly thing that makes you unable to use your own computer and requires you to marry a big tech corp.
Meanwhile LibreOffice and other opensource software is staying in the same place as it was 10 years ago, because too open licenses do not require companies to push changes to the public or make them choose a proprietary solution instead
