I agree. Google Docs/Drive can do all these things and more. If they compare themselves to Google Docs they will lose. Makes more sense to compare itself to other Latex editors.
# Writing Scientific Content
Docs is perfectly capable of doing that. I did the same formula easily in 2 minutes.

# Export options
I think this is the only one I would agree with. I'm not specially familiar with academic paper formats. I suppose Authorea does Latex exports which is nice.
# Version Control
Google Docs have that as well. Not as Git repositories, but with a proper interface that is more user friendly. Maybe you could argue that they are more developer friendly but I wonder if that will resonate with their target audience.
# Collaboration
I don't see how locking a paragraph is a good thing. Anything here I think it's a point to Google.
# Data-driven articles
Google Docs is part of Drive and integrate Spreadsheets. They both can be scripted using Apps Script. Plus you can use other applications to handle any kind of data you through at it.
