Excel is sold as a bundle with Office 365. Many if not most large companies are already paying for O365 for emails/teams/MDM etc anyway.

My company is standardized on G Suite and only dole out MS licenses on request.
Thanks for the anecdote! There does seems to be diversity among the suite of tools large companies use to conduct business.

The parents point seems to still stand -- a significant proportion of companies use Office internally, and Excel is bundled as a part of O365.

To add another anecdote, I've noticed that many educational institutions (including government departments with tens of thousands of staff and hundreds of thousands of students) use G Suite. I'm sure some corporate staff in these organisations have Microsoft Office too, but there are many people in large bureaucracies who use Google Docs and Google Sheets daily.
