No, that's not the proper justification.  What *is* okay is for
someone to write to the spec even *if* it breaks 95% of the world in
order to encourage software publishers to follow the spec.
Non-profits will not typically adjust themselves to be
Microsoft-compatible at the expense of standards-compliance unless
they see some long-term advantage to that strategy.

Cheers,
