but then Google Docs took them apart
Tapping the breaks on that one.
Google Docs is very lightweight, but it’s also very stripped down. Word remains the first choice in word processors for 90% of the market. It (and Excel) are a big reason offices haven’t seriously begun abandoning Microsoft.

Not being able to paste a jpg of a screenshot into an Excel sheet embedded in a Word document is a feature. I posit that the vast majority of users of Office would be just fine with any of the lightweight web app equivalents.

I don't think that's the case, but I only have anecdotal evidence for that. I haven't ever worked at a company where Office was the preference, and the last three I've worked at didn't even offer it as a default. And I'm in my forties.
