Irrelevant. We're dealing with industry wide network effects here.

Excel has complete dominance and will keep it unless they release a version where 1+1=3

No. There are no network effects here. Any company in the financial sector would switch to an excel alternative with a tangible edge over Excel in a heartbeat. LO Calc is Excel 2003, but uglier and with more bugs. That is not a viable commercial proposition.
