We have a winner! Microsoft is unabashedly trying to destroy on-prem IT. They are cutting out every reseller, and directly telling users things like “this feature that would make your life so much easier and make you look great in front of the boss has been disabled by your control-freak system admin”. And they have already tipped their hand that they intend to prevent admins from having any control at all on future things. You can’t even install Windows anymore without a Microsoft account (without jumping through ever-increasingly complex hoops).
