That bit is wrong. Yes, the underlying tech is based on LO but the web frontend is not. IIRC LO Online is about rendering the regular desktop GUI to web technologies whereas Collabora Office uses a new GUI written for the web and LO works in the background. I think not being true LO enough is what caused a rift between The Document Foundation is Collabora a while ago but I’m not too sure.
TDF actually announced to revive LO Online from cold storage to compete against Collabora. Fantastic…
