The chief problem LibreOffice, et al. have is they aren't Microsoft Office. You have to keep in mind that the main users of Microsoft Office are businesses, both big and small. Not being able to receive or create and send documents perfectly with other businesses can cost A Lot Of Money(tm) if not loss of face and thus trust and thus business. The multitude of features frankly isn't important, the one feature every business wants is Microsoft Office in Microsoft Office. Common folks just needing a simple word processor or spreadsheet editor for home or school can't relate because they can't even tell what is incompatible, let alone lose money and business over it.
