Microsoft must care somewhat because they have spent a lot of time fully sandboxing Office 2016. Since OneNote is already available in the MAS [1], I reckon Microsoft will eventually add the remaining Office apps at some point in the future.
> I think Office for Mac is not yet fully 64-bits
Microsoft released the first 64-bit version of Office 2016 for Mac (15.25.0) last month [2] [3]

Now let's do all the other PaaS vendors. Steam, Battle.net, Origin, Adobe CC, SmithMicro... I'm sure I'm missing plenty more.

Steam and Adobe, yes., but most Mac users could not care less for Battle.net, Origin, or SmithMicro.
In fact, Battle.net, Origin, or SmithMicro would care more for Mac to do a rewrite than Apple would care to lose them.
Besides, Apple changed to Intel and didn't give much of a care about MS or Adobe apps having to be rewritten.
And they certainly won't be too happy about having to rewrite, again, their applications (I think Office for Mac is not yet fully 64bits, but I could be wrong, haven't checked in a while.)
