Office support also exists for the majority of editors so why not just use what people are used to?
Why not just send a zip?
There's no advantage to the receiver for either of these.
ODF works on everything. It's reliable and fully documented. The MS office implementation contradicts its own specification and breaks. A lot.
The PK-Zip file format was released in the year 1989. The compression is terrible by modern standards.
Zip almost always results in larger archive files...
