I hope/predict that the unfortunate and sucky choice of OOXML default format is just a legacy of having been forked from OmlyOffice.
With moves in the EU to mandate ODF as a default, I do have hopes this will be flipped to an ODF default sooner rather than later. And that would support the ecosystem favouring LibreOffice as well.

@phlogiston@mastodon.nz OOXML was probably chosen because Euro-Office does not currently provide full support for ODF; see https://nextcloud.com/blog/euro-office-building-momentum "Euro-Office roadmap: Security, performance, and ODF support" "✅ Improve ODF support" "One item we want to call out specifically: #EuroOffice will work towards full #ODF support. That is not only because it matters technically, but also reflects our priorities: a focus on open standards." @libreoffice@fosstodon.org
