The reason I hate using Apple and Windows stuff is that the system seems to think it knows better than you. This is a philosophical thing, not a technology thing.

The SYSTEM decides what's offloaded to the iCloud. The SYSTEM decides that you can't start up your Windows machine to print that report that's due in 10 minutes, because it just absolutely must spend 40 minutes completing its updates before it will let you do anything with the computer.

How hard is it to have a list of things to be offloaded, downloaded, updated, or whatever? Then the USER gets to select what happens with what, rather than the SYSTEM deciding, and often wrongly.

In this case it is a setting and you can turn it off.
