- chx 8y agoI do not think they are interested. Google Docs/Sheets gets features at a very slow pace -- if Google wanted to compete with Office they could literally pour hundreds of millions and a legion of developers into it. As the only monetization I am aware of is Google Suite perhaps that's not enough to justify it. Unless you want to see ads in Docs / Sheets... also, Google Wave has been cancelled.
