I can't say that I've heard anyone mention a Corel office product in over a decade. I see they even own Winzip, DVD/CD-authoring utilities, but again, many of these functions are now built in to the OS.

Are there enough Draw or Wordperfect shops out there to sustain sales? Or am I missing something?

Patents?

Microsoft Word does not paginate footnotes properly. There is a legal requirements for footnotes to be paginated in a certain way in legal documents. As far as I know only Word Perfect does it correctly and hence has locked in the US DoJ. I have to admit that it's been many, many years since I talked to anyone at Corel, so I don't know what else they are doing.
