> Google Docs is far worse, but relatively speaking nobody uses it.

How do you mean "nobody"?

In any case, at least for now, it's relatively easy to make automatic backups of your entire Google Docs collection, and all these documents can be exported to different formats, including ODT.

Note the word relatively. Microsoft has over a billion paid office users. There’s probably another billion pirated users. Google is a few hundred million, and has low penetration into institutions. 3-4 US state governments use Google in a paid capacity. 50 states use Microsoft.

Also, generally speaking, it is preferable to preserve original documents for archival purposes. Export to other formats is problematic in those cases, especially as time marches on and you end up making exported copies of copies.
