Word and Excel have been dominant since the early 1980s. Google has never had a real shot in the space.

You mean 1990s? I don't think Word and Excel even existed until the late 80s, and nobody[0] used them until Windows 3.1.

[0] yes, not literally nobody. I know about the Windows 2.0 Excel or whatever, but the user base compared to WordPerfect or 1-2-3 was tiny up until MS was able to start driving them out by leveraging Windows in the early-mid 90s.
