Reminds me of the "semantic web". Making content machine-readable has positive side effects. (clear structure, reduced ambiguity, separation of data and presentation)
It's another example where the reason for better engineering is to make machines (search engines) happy.

"Google-free" FOSS Android-builds (Graphene, /e/, iodé) are available today and usable for most tasks. Just make sure your government IDs and banking apps don't depend on proprietary Google-only features.

Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Edge and even Brave have "HTTPS first" or "HTTPS by default" enabled out of the box. HTTP is only used as a fallback.

It can't handle OpenDocument files (odt, odp, ods) well. Only a one-way import is supported. https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/docs/userguides/document_e...
There are parts that are not released under a Free Software license but that's unclear from their marketing-communication. #openWashing

The dependency is much weaker in this case. Finding somebody else to manage/host Nextcloud is easy while using MS Office without Microsoft is impossible.

@jospoortvliet did a comparison of the two projects that's very much worth a read.

Web-apps in the browser can't be used for encryption because in that model the server is always trusted to send whatever code it wants. That defeats the point of end-to-end encryption. That's why Mailvelope is a browser add-on and webmail clients don't just embed openPGP.js. This way they can create releases of the crypto-code and distribute them over trustworthy channels.
If Isolated Web Apps (IWAs) take off, it may become an option.
