    Office support also exists for the majority of editors so why not just use what people are used to?

    Why not just send a zip?

    There’s no advantage to the receiver for either of these.

      ODF works on everything. It’s reliable and fully documented. The MS office implementation contradicts its own specification and breaks. A lot.

      The PK-Zip file format was released in the year 1989. The compression is terrible by modern standards.
