And why should LibreOffice not be able to integrate a "cloud service" into their suite?

The extension interface of Libre Office even lets me think that this would be technically a triviality to integrate.

Maybe with an open standard instead of a propriety and closed eco system,

with the freedom to choose whom you trust with your data, or to host it yourself.

Oh, they can, no doubt about that. And that's what the post is about, trying to stay relevant in a changing market. But it adds a lot of complexity, since it switches from a product to a service.
