"Average" user must have used very limited amount of software. I agree, not everyone need software for modeling or design, but again, looking at Grammarly, which is pretty useful addon, and it's only available for MS Office. "Average user" may start from Libre Office, but end up disappointed, why addon developers don't care about him. And they don't care (well, maybe just deeply concerned), because investing 20-30% of the whole development time for supporting 1% of user base is financially pointless idea.

The average user needs a web browser, full stop. This can be proven easily by looking at the market success of Chromebooks.
You mean spell checker? Libre office has it.
No, I mean exactly what I said
