In many cases, the answer is "no", and that is where the matter ends for most people.

I understand that point and have no issues with it at all. I've had several people at work tell me they were interested in Linux and -- since they knew I used it at home -- asked what distribution they should try. The first question I always asked them -- do you play a lot of PC games? If the answer was "yes" that was where it pretty much ended. If they didn't play games, the next question was -- do you
have to have Microsoft Office? Again, if the answer was "yes," that was the end of it -- except I would add, if you're willing, you
could run Office under Wine, using Crossover. I really didn't suggest it, however. I, personally, never liked or used Office (except when forced to at work) and I don't play games, so neither of these were ever a concern for me.
Anyhow, your point is valid. I understand that. I know of a lot folks who don't play games and don't want/need Office.
