No one is claiming that OS is as good. They are saying it isn't that far behind SOTA commercial products. So why pay exorbitantly just to get something only a few percent better than the free option?

But there have been very good open source office apps for decades and few enterprises use them, so perhaps this is just the nature of B2B purchasing committees and 'nobody getting fired for buying IBM.'

Because failures compound. My productivity has substantially improved since I switched from open models to a Codex subscription, because it doesn't need hand holding, and it doesn't pull stupid tricks occasionally.
