First, Office documents can be infected with cross-platform virii, although most such critters don't run "correctly" on the Mac. Also, starting with the OS X version, Office is pretty hardcore about warning the user about documents that contain macros.

Second, lots of users hear computer virus horror stories and want to protect themselves being too dim to realize that horror stories have never actually happened on a Mac OS X box.
