Yes if you have legal or finance staff; their workflows rely heavily on the Windows versions of Office. Google tried and were unable to do it, FYI.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of Windows anymore, but it's device management capabilities via Active Directory and Intune are far and away the best in class. Yes, Windows suffers from success (by way of getting targeted for exploits all of the time), but it is really really easy to lock down, encrypt, and wipe Windows laptops and desktops en masse.

What functionality do they rely so heavily in Office that makes it irreplaceable? Some VBA monstrosity? Or is it just muscle memory?

I bet it's just the ability to edit docx files that third parties send over, without losing any details/features/fidelity or the markup going to shit. Esp docx files that are terrible turds internally (the ones with layers and layers of conflicting formatting settings, hit enter somewhere and everything changes etc) is hard to import into eg Google Docs without the internal turdness showing on the outside.
