This is true I suppose. Google Docs is a bit different. I'm not very familiar with their offerings. Here in the US, most stop using it past grade school and graduate to MS products after, at least in my experience.

I don't think it matters since Universities will not be taking Google Doc submissions unless it's core ed classes, any beyond it will be LaTeX anyways.

LaTeX is no longer the king of universities, Word has been for quite some time part of the official templates.

And I can tell that while at CERN, those using LaTeX on paper submissions were the minority, on ATLAS TDAQ/HLT group it was a mix of Word, and FrameMaker.

Maybe this is unique to my comp sci program, but all of our final papers in my program were required in LaTeX before graduating in 2023.
