I come across this issue frequently in my current work environment.

 - We use OpenSuse on our work machines.
 - The industry partner uses a mixture of Linux and Windows.
 - Microsoft Office is the norm, and for project internal presentations
   we are expected to provide PPT[X] files.

The presentations typically require at least *some* inline formulas, and when
opening presentations obtained *from* the industry partner, equations are
completely missing, since they cannot be imported.

As a result, we are unable to ditch a setup, where we are running Microsoft
Office in a virtual machine. Not a major issue in terms of license costs for a
project environment, but a major disadvantage in terms of workflows.

On the Writer side of things, the issue is much smaller, as Math OLEs can be
configured to very well emulate true inline equations, except for being a
hassle to get consistent formatting across the document (especially in contexts
with deviating font size, like footnotes and captions.)
