When I worked at GE, anyone could buy a copy of MS Office for $10 - full version not the subscription.

Why not bundle a separate license for individuals with the enterprise license.

The value of deliverable asset (document etc) from MS Office for the regular user is insignificant. The value of deliverable from a professional CAD application otoh, always has a price that likely non-trivial and plausibly much more than the 10k yearly license or so. E.g. A multi-month project with all of the relevant design data.
