Dunno.

BTW, the sentence "Use Office OpenXML Text Format" might be somewhat
mysterious/unclear to the average user (as well as "Use ODF Format"). I
fear that John Doe understands "Office" as "LibreOffice" whereas it
stands for "MS-Office".

So, IMO, the button selection is not only a question of placement.It is
also a question of clarity of contents.

Well, yes, I'm also aware that many a user blindly clicks anywhere <sigh>
