I don't use Microsoft Office, so I don't know. Same with PDFs, I don't use Adobe.
There are plenty of programs that handle those formats other than Office and Adobe and I've never had significant problems with any of them.
Regardless, OP said "it always ended up with the open standard not being used anymore." Both of those standards are being used, and even if OpenDocument and PDF had been extinguished it still wouldn't matter because any open standard still being used is sufficient to disprove OP's position.
Emrace-Extend-Extinguish is something worth paying some concern to, but it's not some kind of unstoppable boogeyman. It's failed far more often than it's succeeded.
