What would motivate someone to insist on having software he doesn’t use?
They use it, just not to its full capability.

Most regular users know where the buttons they need for there job are, that’s it.
You dare give them a different layout of the same buttons, and they will swear up and down the buttons are not there or don’t work.
Chrome PDF viewer insists it now Windows default? Clearly that means the one they regularly use has gotten taken over by a virus, and they can’t find “the button” to do “the thing” that they need to do to these PDFs every week.

When they eventually looked at usage it turned out all those people demanding it never actually did anything with it.
