I my experience, it's often that Excel is an absolute necessity. Try telling people who work in finance or accounting that they will have to use Google Sheets or another alternative and you'll have a picket line out front of the office within a week.

I've never met anyone who was a die-hard for Word, I'm sure they exist but they can't be a large contingent of users.

Excel is a lot like Photoshop. Everyone hates the parent companies, but there just aren't good alternatives for either one.
