I still have nightmares using Doc as code editor. I new it would be bad, thought notepad would work as a good practice environment. But no Doc is like word tries to auto format/fix every line and tab. I couldn't deal with my code moving nor read it afterwords.

Oh god. the auto caps is just the beginning, auto-correct is not your friend.
And they expected to be able to run the resulting code afterwards!

I'm curious, why wouldn't they let you just write it in Vim, Emacs, or even VSCode?

With google doc, they see you while you edit. There are other third parties that provide pretty good shared editors for this, but this is Google and tradition.
I have always felt there 90% the interview process is a form of hazing.
