Most businesses you have interacted with use word.

As other commenters say, many others don’t.

Many don’t but most do.
where do you get this info? the statistics say otherwise [0]:

> The office suite market in the United States is split between Google’s G Suite and Microsoft’s Office 365, with G Suite being the market leader holding a share of 59.41 percent and Office 365 occupying 40.39 percent, as of October 2020

I mean, maybe old-style orgs still use MS office, but it looks like all the non-IT ones are moving to Google.

Schools in our town use Google calendar and Google classroom. My gym uses google docs and google forms. Many of the random event "sign-up" pages are on google forms.

"Free" is a great price, and many businesses (especially smaller ones) do not want to pay extra for ms office.
