I haven't look at the templates you referred to so I'm just talking out of my anal orifice here, but if their budgeting/personal finance spreadsheets has the user inputting his expenses, such as "Dinner at Ruth's Chris = $174.00" then that type of info would be very helpful to GOOG in their targeted advertising and in their selling of mailing lists to advertisers.

Just think of data that could be mined from such information on an expenditure spreadsheet.

ETA: And I'd be willing to bet the user would give GOOG permission to access those spreadsheets on his PC when he clicks on the "I Agree" button on the ever-present "Terms of Service" 20+ page document that none of us ever reads but the user must click on before he can download the "free" software.
