It would be cool, yes, but would it be something that anybody really
wants or needs?

IMHO it is too much for a fun project (been there, done that!) but OTOH
where's the business model to make such a development attractive so that
anybody would want to throw money on it? How many people would *pay* for
using a Web based Office Suite? How many people would like to do serious
Office work in a browser despite all the possible problems (privacy,
security, user interface deficiencies, stability, performance, latency
etc.)?

At least 5 years ago even in the .COM bubble there was no interest for a
web based office suite (I know what I'm talking about!) - except that
all agreed it would be cool to have one. :-)

Best regards,
Mathias
