Pointing out differences by individual warnings is as good as pointless. At
least for Writer. The document-model of LibreOffice being inherently different.
There are so many area's common cases where 'conversions occur' From image an
anchor conversion, styles, highlighting

A nice example: bug 125268. It's including a bunch of comments of handling the
compatibility matter..

Importing a file generated by MSO in LibO and saving it back to DOCX without
any change does already create quite a lot of differences.
