That's how people pay for Google Docs and all of Google's products and they seem to be perfectly OK with it. As long as the perceived price is $0 they're happy and don't really care what the real price is for things. Ignorance truly is bliss.

A lot of people/companies/governments are not okay with it, and do not use it.

I don't mind other people using that, but I'd rather have at least a single mobile/desktop office suite available that does not send everything to US -_-

LibreOffice comes in mind for that one.

But not everyone uses Google Docs, and not every user trusts it with important or confidential data.

LibreOffice is at least a serviceable alternative.

It can't overcome the "I need MS Office" problem, and it might not be feature equivalent for layout, but for 90% of stuff that is just some text, it should be fine.
