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.
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.
Many govt agencies around the world pay for Office 365 or similars. Where I work (govt health), some higher ups demand pro-level M$ office accounts. Those ain’t cheap.
I suspect the vast majority of USA govt (state and federal), plus many European govts, pay a fortune for Office
Tapping the breaks on that one.

You don’t wanna do that. The whole thing could shatter!

I’d never use Google Docs for any long-form writing. I wouldn’t even trust the online nature of it, not having the file stored locally.
I haven’t worked at an office where it wasn’t. And I’ve done years of consulting at Deloitte, so I’ve seen a few places.
Fair, which is why anecdote isn’t the singular of data I guess.

Virtually every company I’ve worked at used Office primarily. And by the looks of the other comments your experience seems to be atypical.
Fair enough.
