That's the problem we been talking about for years with regards to dependency on the cloud. Take digital games: you don't own then, when you pay roughly the same amount you did for a boxed game a decade ago now you barely get a license, not a right, to play said game on platforms such as valve for as long as they allow you to.

And it's the same problem with software in general these days, no matter if you pay you don't own it so you don't have a right to use it.
