Because we are more or less platform neutral and that requires (under
the given circumstances) to rely on own code that has to be loaded.
Microsoft Office can share many of the components with the operating
system - that's a bit easier. Consequently, it will be hard to be fast
as Microsoft Office, but there is potential - for sure :-)

And for those who are interested to dig a bit deeper:
