Hm, I should defend those people.
Most of the employment agencies pretty much demand CVs in Word format
and seem unable to cope with anything else, so one is pretty much
obliged to use Word (OK, OpenOffice/LibraOffice will export pretty
well). Nobody wants to make multiple copies, though many of us will.
Lots of places even object to pdf files.
On the other hand. if you're applying direct to a Linux company, not
using Linux tools does seem like a silly oversight!
