You never owned the software, you only have a license. I want to know why this can be widely understood, and yet we all act surprised when it turns out we don’t “control” software which nobody promised us any control over in the first place.
It's like default allow vs default deny. We know one is "safer" but everyone should have the choice.
Some people prefer to default allow and then they come up against a problem, decide to deny or continue allow.
Some people prefer default deny and when they come up against a problem, decide to allow or continue deny.
Start off using iCloud, become aware of problem, make a decision to try and self-host. Default allow, IMO.
