    Outlook. Businesses locked in to using it.

    College marking systems that crap on .docx files and need .doc files produced by older Office installs

    MOS has VBA which is heavily used in many industries. Especially Excel. Vast applications can be written around VBA.

    The average Joe only uses about 10% of these applications. So when they compare it with other applications, they are only comparing that 10%

    Most people don't need the other 90% though. Wordpad would probably do for most people.
