People didn't want the cloud. Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and others wanted everyone in the cloud to get them on the subscription bandwagon.

I hope more and more people vote with their wallets and go to other platforms and tools.

I don't think you're right. People love the benefits they get from the cloud, mostly being able to access data from multiple devices and huge storage capabilities. The downsides are, unfortunately, often overlooked.

For non-techies, it is not immediate obvious what the downsides even are, or why they should matter.
