Because Windows Enterprise and Server were so cheap before? Depending on the size of the company it may even be cheaper than the current model.

Let me rephrase that: I probably would've gone with Linux either way, unless there was something I absolutely needed Windows for. But Linux is functional for most office work.

Any reasonably sized company will need an Active Directory. A lot of network and application services rely on it. If it's not Windows it will be one of the Linux distributions that offer support, none of which are free or even cheap.

Sorry to break it to you but actual work in businesses is a lot more than just doing some work in local applications like browsers and worksheets. Even if the lowlevel office drone does not notice that.
