If it wasn't good UX why would other companies want to replicate it? Also, design parents don't last all that long, Ribbon has been around since MS Office 2007, which means it would be at the longest recently out of patent coverage.

That question actually answers itself. Because managers of companies use the exact logic you're using. "If big company X is doing this thing, they must have a good reason, so we do the same thing."

MS constantly fails at basic UX. It's not the company anyone should follow when doing UX. But there's a lot of people that don't know what they're doing and just copy someone else hoping they know what they're doing.
