Cloud computing, app stores, web apps — they all conspire to obscure or completely isolate you from your data. That’s often a good user experience. But it also feels incressingly too constrained.

File locking in networked file systems was always problematic. Often multi user applications need record level locking. The only files that still are recognizable in distributed systems are immutable. In distributed computing all state management ends up looking like a database.

Yea for deploying a service this is all sensible. I mean more on the consumer side, although the distributed state issue is often the same answer

Perhaps the most egregious of this is that Office no longer auto-saves if the file isn't saved in OneDrive. This is hostile to the user.

Wait, really? Wow. Yea, it all is. Data isolation is the new moat.

Too much control for users?
-
For sure: the less freedom you give the users, the less error-catching code you have to write to try to anticipate all the weird shit they might try to do. But that has to be balanced against pissing off (a subset of) users by adding friction/blocks to what they want to do.
