Why don't they fork Onlyoffice for this?
Because forking a buggy suite isn't always the best choice? If they have the ressources, and they do, making their own is best for everyone. More choices.
I haven't found any issues with it. The problem with making their own is that the MS Office file formats are purposefully poorly documented with the spec being over 6000 pages long and MS Office itself not adhering to it. It would be best to start with something where most of the work is done for them.
that's what cryptpad.fr does
