Unfortunately Google did not succeed to get more into schools around the globe with chromebooks, which is a pity by my opinion. That helps to keep the Win/Office monopoly situation to go on in organizations and businesses hiring people who never used another software than one from Microsoft.
One reason being that Microsoft lobby hard against low-end PC & notebooks that are not aligned with its interests. [1]
Microsoft has a large, entrenched distribution network and market all over the world. It makes an uphill battle to create low-end programs for schools, universities, governments, SMBs.
Hence the phrase "no one was ever fired from buying Microsoft". It's too hard a battle to go against the flow.
