When a accountant is trying to figure out how to work his Excel spreadsheet out in LibreOffice I think that it's not going to matter much to him at all if the software is AGPL compatible.

AGPL might not matter so much, but MPL will be vital. MPL can be distributed in app stores so if the device is a Windows 8 tablet or an iProduct it means he has the choice of using LibreOffice.
Most OO.o users are on Windows and it is about to be closed to GPL apps. First on ARM, then on x86. iProducts have been closed off for years.
Yes it sucks.

And iProducts are loosing market share all the time, whilst Windows Phone is irrelevant, and by the looks of it Win8 will make Vista look like a resounding success.

Sorry for the self-reply: There's nothing in the (L|A|)GPL preventing it from being sold in app stores in general. It is only that some *insert nasty word of your choice* corporate parasites have prohibited all forms of GPL from "their" app store. The appstore with the biggest, and afaik growing, market share (Google) is perfectly fine with all forms of GPL.
