Why most 32bit distros ship with old version of LibO when there are new Open Office versions available ?

Hi.
Since I'm assembled in such a way that I believe in an afterlife for old computers, I have some old 32 bit computers that is not thrown away and is still fully functional.
I have tried different Linux distros to see what work best, and it seems that most - if not all the distros ships with old versions of Libre Office (major version 4.x or 5.x).
Libre Office dropped 32bit from version 6.
But, Open Office still have 32 bit support (current version 4.1.10).
So the question is - why doesn't 32 bit distros ship with Open Office instead of Libre Office ?
