Maybe they just don't know any better

Apache OpenOffice??

Surely you meant LibreOffice. OpenOffice has basically been dead for years, with no significant work going on.

LibreOffice has been updated? Interface still looks like it was designed for Windows 95.
LibreOffice’s look stems in large part from the UI toolkit that they use. Which was guaranteed to look like Windows, since LO is made in Java, and is not gonna be changed easily.
