Maybe you wouldn't. Maybe you just feel some comfort / familiarity with the ASF, who knows? I'll freely admit, all of this is pretty subjective and pretty personal.
My take is, as long as you're contributing to something OSS, you're doing something laudable. I don't care if you contribute to AOO, LO, Calligra, a new fork of KOffice, GNumeric, or something else.
Of course I'd like to see people chip in with AOO, but I can't sit here and tell you there are a lot of objective reasons to decide to do so. I just hope there's some non-zero number of people who do make that choice, regardless of their reasoning.
