I am incredibly upset about Safari destroying the utility of localStorage. The cloud is not safer than your local device. The cloud almost always deletes your data after a few years. The data I entrusted to the cloud five years ago has almost all gone on an "incredible journey".
That's a precarious place for your data *right now*. The way storage quotas work across browsers means your data is already at risk of being blown away. Browsers have given you a false sense of security in your data safety. Normalizing asking for permissions fixes that.

Yes, this is also deeply violating. User input is sacred. If I save data it sure as hell better be there when I come back for it. The fact that browsers violate my trust routinely with this is why I have given up hope for PWAs.

Seems like there are too many different use cases served by local storage.
