It's weird, users will happily accept Google Docs and Sheets as replacements for Word and Excel despite the considerable differences but are more reluctant to give the LibreOffice suite a try despite arguably being more capable. But at this point I'm not going to judge as long as they're happy.
With all respect libre office startup times are awful in Linux. UI still needs work over. Lots of resources. Libre office works poorly if one has 4 or 8 GB RAM.
If there was a minimal footprint libre office (like online with collaboration line or next cloud it will be great but it is very unreliable)
And often people have gotten used to
- simple just open with browser - needs few resources - love or hate Android is most popular. So people are able access documents in phone
There are also companies slowing realizing the strong use of Google docs so that definitely design it more compatible with Google docs rather than libre office. And many companies have already bought into Google ecosystem.
