The main reasons that I've seen for Microsoft Office vs OpenOffice/Libre Office include:
Outlook email client, with it's calendar, meeting invites and .vcard attachments (Windows)
Need to share documents with MS Office users and want formatting to remain consistent.
I've got mixed feelings about Microsoft's Office subscription model, but I'll admit that they understand human nature: From an IT perspective, the subscription model is an easier sale to management despite higher overall cost, because up-front costs are lower, and monthly charges quickly become the accepted norm.
