"Nearly identical"
could mean a lot of extra work to particularly learn a new
system. Time which you can't use for something useful.
Do you even know what you are talking about here? LibreOffice is a fork
of OpenOffice that occured while Oracle was sitting on OpenOffice for
ages without publishing any releases or accepting any patches from the
developers, who in turn got fed up and jumped ship and forked OpenOffice
to LibreOffice. Nowdays most patches from one find their way to the
other and the two are near identical in functionality, appearance and
file formats they support. The main difference you're likely to see is
the splash screen.
It's a non-issue, and a cosmetic/philosophical one at that.
