Microsoft Office & Apple iWork web apps could be complex due to compatibility
with the offline ones, and that they have a feature set that only has steadily
expanded for a ten to twenty years.
They also need to have their app integrated with their other services.

That’s not true, web apps aren’t really complex if you get to use the npm
ecosystem. There are high quality libraries that do much of the heavy lifting,
so writing ones usually are wiring glue code between the libraries.
