Increased code, increased code complexity, increased attack vectors, increased bug counts and increased support complexity. Then there's the problem that the toolbar+menu UI was already broken and needed redesigning.

Just the idea of trying to support and maintain a small product with two completely different, incompatible UIs brings me out in a cold sweat, let alone something the size of Office.
