I don't really agree with much of google any more but I was at one point fairly involved in a project there. They do have some more secure systems for government use that isn't the crazy leaky ad cesspool gmail and docs is.
The docs are used for data into the advertisement systems.
I've heard on the grapevine that several fortune 500 companies are on O365 because Google wouldn't disassociate docs from data gathering, even at the level of high touch high paying customers and they rightfully consider their internal documents to be part of their IP. Microsoft says "sure" and flips a secret "don't even gather stack traces on the server" flag for these customers.
