At least Word has an outline mode, GDocs is the worst. A text editor with markdown support is better than GDocs.

Word's outline mode is a sham. You can't export the text in the outline format. Stupid AF.

Word used to be a great product. Today it's a shambolic testament to incompetent design and dereliction.

Google Docs is in fact a text editor with Markdown support, see https://support.google.com/docs/answer/12014036

I don’t remember seeing the outline function on the online version of Word.

It’s maddening that the Windows, macOS, iOS and web versions of Word all have completely random subsets of functionality.
