Because they're replying to someone who wondered about the performance "compared to Native Microsoft Excel".

I'll add that browser Google Sheets and native Microsoft Excel are the fastest versions available (of each product).

Why do you suggest that the web version of sheets is faster than the swift or Java versions? I haven’t tried them, and certainly haven’t benchmarked them, but I would imagine they’re faster.
