I don't think that's the case, but I only have anecdotal evidence for that. I haven't ever worked at a company where Office was the preference, and the last three I've worked at didn't even offer it as a default. And I'm in my forties.
I haven't worked at an office where it wasn't. And I've done years of consulting at Deloitte, so I've seen a few places.
Fair, which is why anecdote isn't the singular of data I guess.
Many govt agencies around the world pay for Office 365 or similars. Where I work (govt health), some higher ups demand pro-level M$ office accounts. Those ain't cheap.
I suspect the vast majority of USA govt (state and federal), plus many European govts, pay a fortune for Office
I'd never use Google Docs for any long-form writing. I wouldn't even trust the online nature of it, not having the file stored locally.
Virtually every company I’ve worked at used Office primarily. And by the looks of the other comments your experience seems to be atypical.
Fair enough.
