Google Docs (and modern versions of Microsoft 365) offers a much nicer experience for a lot of writing work, so I can see why the author would prefer it to an offline solution—especially for creative writing. I like being able to write on my phone in the Google Docs app while on the subway or somewhere where using a laptop is inconvenient. I like being able to share a document and collaborate on it without emailing a copy back and forth. I also like Google Apps Script when I need to extend Google Sheets; I never learned VBA, but JavaScript is a much more normal programming language.
