I think Stallman realized that back then.

But yeah, current situation is getting ridiculous. One could always expect malicious actors, but I didn't guess people will be routinely putting in the cloud things that have no business being Internet-dependent. Then again, I remember first reading pg's essays, in which he praised the benefits of running things on your server and delivering them as a webpage, instead of standalone software. I nodded along, and it only occurred to me many years later how incredibly user-hostile that is, too.

It does make piracy impossible, though. The ultimate user-hostility for the ultimate bad-actor-hostility. It's like the infinite limit of DRM.
