Your logic is flawed. Are normal cars better than supercars? There are
millions of normal cars, but only a few thousand supercars. Does that
mean that the supercars are inferior? No, in this case it means that
most people cannot afford them. As for Windows, most computers come
with it, and people most people don't know that there are alternatives.
With Office, it is a compatibility issue. People use Office because
their contacts use it, and it is a vicious circle of upgrades just to
remain compatible, meanwhile generating a lot of income for MS.
