“I don’t want to save my files to someone else’s computer, I want to save my files to my own computer.” should’ve never been a thing, but here we are.

Well honestly cloud storage is pretty useful for some stuff.
It’s the forcefulness that has made most of this kinda shit annoying as hell.

I agree that the functionality is sometimes nice, but I would never keep data in just the cloud, at least anything sensitive or valuable. Beyond not trusting someone else with the integrity of my data, I also do not want to be subject to control of it or access to it. Lastly, my data is mine, and in most cloud providers, my data will also be used for AI training.
So, I enjoy using the cloud for some things, I still keep my primary data under my control, in my own known and backed up locations.
As for the forcefulness, there are a lot of us who care deeply about ownership and privacy, and there are a lot of those that dismiss our concerns as invalid or unimportant. Not that you are by any means, just that is what I see frequently.
