I suspect the latter. I once had Works, it came pre-loaded on an IBM PS1 computer which ran Windows 3.1. I used the package because I had it, but then I came by some WordPerfect floppies at the place I worked, made copies, and used that, i.e. I stole the software. I suspect that most home users either use stolen MS Office software or OpenOffice.org, and that those still using Works are few. Of course, impoverished independent schools like the one where my wife works are another exception - they wouldn't want to get caught with stolen software. I am still trying to persuade them to see sense and download OO.o. Perfect sense really, since students and teachers can have the same software at home, and nobody has to pay.
