I was thinking that why does LibreOffice support document

Windows run on around 90% of personal computers in this world.
In your message, you downgraded LibreOffice project into:
1. "Let us create something to attract users";
2. "Let us implement others' ideas".
If it is not ethical towards MS then why is LibreOffice developing MS
Office compatible software at all?
LibreOffice is not "MS Office compatible software". It is able to import
and export MS Office formats, as well as many other formats; but it
doesn't rely on MS architectural decisions, and maps the data in those
external formats onto its own architecture and feature set.
