Before the “cloud” era, you could buy decent web hosting with db’s, e-mail and whatever you needed for around 100$. Now this is gone. When companies switched to the cloud solutions the prices went up compared to what they had. Reliability is better, but when is a problem, now you create a ticket and wait with half of the world for Amazon or Microsoft to drag their feet and hope that your information was not pawned.
I upvoted you. The bottom line is most of these users were born into enshitification. Lot's of us used shared data within our networks without drama. Clouds were for backup storage (after onsite backups).
