Yup, Google using its powerful position to make it seem like the generic owner of things when it is not. See also the sites: doc.new, docs.new, document.new, sheet.new, sheets.new, spreadsheet.new, slide.new, slides.new, deck.new, presentation.new, form.new, forms.new, site.new, sites.new, website.new, and probably others.

A bunch of other sites have also 'claimed' some .new domains, like vue.new goes to codesandbox.io and api.new to RunKit.

Sure, but since Google owns .new, they had first dibs on grabbing every generic document type they could possibly want. Sure, Microsoft can grab word.new, but doc.new is Google's regardless of what you use to write documents.
