OnShape for Education should be integrated with G Suite for Education

Two years ago I asked here and on SketchUp forum for the following things:

1) Implement SSO with G Suite domain account for all CAD editions

2) Develop special edition for Education with G Suite for Education integration

SketchUp was listened me carefully and it have done exactly those two things. As a result they already have 10,000,000+ users from G Suite alone. 

(Proof: https://gsuite.google.com/marketplace/app/sketchup_for_schools/260457348581)

OnShape said that it have no plans to allows users login into OnShape with Google accounts. As a result OnShape has so few users in total that it is shamed to even publish overall number.

OnShape outperform SketchUp in any part of pure CAD functionality. Don't drop great opportunity just start doing business.

For now G Suite for Education alone have more than 70 million users. Just do two things above and you get good part of this pie.
