Fair enough for cloud storage as it costs real money to keep rust spinning. The rest not so much.

    Yes, kinda. But take Windows for instance - the native backup tools got deprecated and are pretty much hidden, the systems constantly wants the user to use OneDrive.

    So yes, it makes sense to pay for cloud storage - but many people didn't even need it before, and now it's another new expense.

    eh, everyone should be using some form of cloud backup, with the small exception of like people with extreme privacy needs, and even then you have to get to a fraction of a fraction before the answer isn't encrypted cloud backups.

    That said, Win11 basically turning into an ad platform is gross as hell.
