How would that even help?
Are we forgetting decades of office suite incompatibility? The main reason most european companies use Office365 over alternatives is:
1. Fear of retraining
2. Fear of untrodden path
but most crucially:
3. Fear of incompatibility with other businesses

Most of Words featured aren't used anyway because most people don't know them. The rest is some Excel tools somebody once created which heavily rely on VBA but nobody can support them because they guy who made them already has left the company. Have seen that more than once.

Personally I think that the culture of sending everything as a Word or Excel attachment has a lot to do with the dominance of MS office but if you can't avoid Office-like applications the other options are even worse.
