With a lot of the junk coming out of China it's real easy to run well under a power factor of .85 since a lot of the gadgets are running power factors around .5 to .6 and those items include CFL, cheap LED replacements, cell phone charger, cheap florescent ballasts, laptop power supplies, lots of things.
Plus I would like to potentially go off grid some day. So I would be penalized all the time for low power factor.
