I think our company has a company-wide license for Office. When IT sets up a machine you get it automatically. Microsoft works hard to get those kind of setups to be common-place.
Last time I worked in a big corporate you had to fill in a long form to request a license for anything you needed. If you didn't use it again within a fortnight or so it got yoinked away...
The startups I've worked at since have all been big on GSuite.
