This is a feature that has been among the most loved aspects of its main competitor for more than a decade.

Web applications (even those with interactive editing!) can store all data locally instead of remotely if desired. See Excalidraw for a nice example.

Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward
