Comment on Why doesn't more software support ODF / ODS files?

Format support is available in all the software for which it is the native format. And the people who use those documents have that software, so support elsewhere doesn’t matter that much.

Sure for isolated machines. I was using open office on isolated machines 20 years ago, I’m glad the software is better now.
But there is value in cloud storage for institutions and collaborative editing. All the European offerings I saw for this were autoconverting to Microsoft formats (pcloud, onlyoffice) and they both seem to have at least part open source licenses so it’s surprising to me.
Its also surprising to me that there are mostly viewing options on iPhone (but not surprising to me that there is low support, just that it’s almost only view only)
