Are there any specific examples you could give about where they currently have a lot of lock-in? As far as I can tell, the worst they get is just as bad as any other company with a proprietary SaaS product.

Maybe Microsoft Office. I know there is LibreOffice and personally I use it (or LaTeX), but it seems to have a real stranglehold on a lot of people.
