"Why" doesn't really matter to the end-user.  It is all about corporate stupidity.  LibreOffice is

Yes, completely.  And the application will be comfortably the same

> Should I start using Libre Office immediately?

Yes.  LibreOffice has more developers and just more bugfixes.  It is the same, just better.
