Microsoft and Windows has lot of neat stuff going on. But something happens in the productization process and the end result is a trainwreck. Large part of that is the distinct lack of trust that we have, both as consumers and technologists. Lot of fancy stuff gets built, then remains unused and unutilized, which inevitably leads the thing to wither and die. If MS wants to stop FAANG etc from eating their lunch they need to figure out a way to reverse the trend. And that doesn't happen with gimmicks like this, no matter how cool they are.

I'm not sure Google is eating Microsoft's lunch right now... Microsoft seems to be coming to the lunch table and starting fights for Google's turkey sandwich (search).
Office is the bread and butter of MS, and Gsuite is very much eating into that.

edit: I wouldn't be surprised at all if Amazon released an office(/groupware) style suite also soon. It definitely would be an match, they already have lot of user-facing enterpricy software
