I've just understood it to be a practical decision since ooxml seems to be most widely used and support is mandatory to continue operation. I may miss some information here, but I've always thought a file format, even if proprietary, is just a decision regarding performance.
And you guys did a great job in keeping the file format usable in you product, so what's the problem?
