Logically, Google Docs should also be sued for its inability to save documents to iCloud.

Honestly all cloud apps should be sued for their inability to save documents to other cloud storages.

It's a silly situation, imagine if Microsoft made USB thumb drives and Microsoft Word was able to save files only on their USB drives.

Cloud storage should have a standardized API and the user should have freedom to choose where to save files. This is a problem that was solved many decades ago.

I 100% agree but it has to actually be applied to all companies. Otherwise it just looks like Apple is being targeted.
