To be fair, we were impressed with Google Docs 15 years ago. Not saying office.com isn't impressive, but Google Docs certainly isn't impressive today. My company still uses GSuite, as I don't like being in Microsoft's ecosystem and we don't need any advanced features of our office suite but Google Docs and the rest of the GSuite seem to be intentionally held back to technology of the early 2010's.

Google docs certainly haven't changed much the last 5-10 years. I wonder if that's an intentional choice, or if it is because those that built it and understand how it works are long gone to work on other things.

Actually I did see a few long awaited improvements landing in gdocs lately (e.g. better markdown support, pageless mode).

I think they didn't deliver much new features in early 2020s because they were busy with a big refactoring from DOM to canvas rendering [0].

No more development? Time for Google to kill Google Docs!
