ODF is the name of the formats not the extension.

.ODF is listed as an extension for "formulae, mathematical equations" on that Wikipedia page.

People tend to mix ODT with ODF so I jumped to a conclusion, sorry about that.

OnlyOffice indeed doesn't support .ODF because it doesn't natively support any open document format and convert from MS formats to open formats (learned this today actually) and since MS Office doesn't have a math format like LibreOffice it's expected that OnlyOffice doesn't support .ODF at all. It's quite interesting. I didn't know that LibreOffice and OnlyOffice are fundamentally different like this.
