The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

Why aren't you using LaTeX to write your thesis though?

There are few online options, also you could just sync it to a common folder so it could work that way... But rarely thesis are drafted concurrently -

The main advantage of LaTeX is the easy type setting for journal articles/thesis etc and ease of changing the style.
