Office 2016 does have realtime collaboration in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, in both the desktop and online apps.

Desktop office is not real time - it's synced and since office web sucks compared to gDocs - gDocs win new markets.

Office 2016 has real-time collaboration on the Mac, and has for quite some time.
