Sigh, yes everyone knows that ChromeOS is built on linux. That's not what people mean when they say running linux.

AFAIK Chromebooks can run Office 365 (the online one, whatever it's called now). Microsoft had to do that to try to keep Office relevant and accessible.

How do you break away from something you were programmed to use?

You don't, you get the next generation to use your product first. They start with chromebooks in elementary school now. That's the first computer kids will have and likely have all the way to grade 12 for school (after that is who knows what). Kids today will be programmed to use Chromebooks, not windows. That's my point.
